The 21 papers of this volume were first presented at the Fifth Annual Conference on Byzantine Art, held at the British Museum and King's College, London, in May 2008. Published in an oversized
format (8.25x11.75"), and very well illustrated with b&w and color plates, the papers attest to the high esteem and broad reach of Byzantine jewelry in the medieval world, with analysis of
its impact on jewelry produced by the Visigoths, Anglo-Saxons, and in medieval Rus, and of specific types and examples found throughout the Mediterranean. Not indexed. Distributed in North
America by The David Brown Book Co. Annotation 穢2010 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
