Item description from seller

10 x 7 inches. hardcover, sewn. 272 pages. This scholarly book delves into the intricate world of Byzantine scribes and the manuscripts they meticulously created. It investigates the social, cultural, and religious contexts that shaped the lives and works of these scribes, who played a crucial role in preserving the literary and theological heritage of Classical Greece and the Byzantine Empire. Through an in-depth analysis of various manuscripts, the book sheds light on the scribal practices, calligraphic styles, and the materials used in manuscript production. It also explores the transmission of texts, the influence of patronage, and the interaction between scribes and their contemporary intellectual milieus. This comprehensive study is a valuable resource for academics, historians, biblical scholars, and anyone interested in the legacy of Byzantine literary culture. Dr. Nadezhda Kavrus-Hoffmann is a specialist in Greek paleography and Byzantine manuscripts. She is working as an independent scholar and has published numerous articles in scholarly journals. She is the author of catalogues of Greek manuscripts in American collections, including those of Brown, Columbia, and Harvard Universities, the University of Michigan, Dumbarton Oaks, and the Morgan Library & Museum. She resides in Glenmont, N.Y. and Washington, D.C. 100+ full-color illustrations.
