Trade Review
"...the author - whose erudition as a historian of religions shines through her every word... does provide a convenient reference book for the non-specialist in the difficult maze that is historical iconography." Sylvia Auld, University of Edinburgh "This imaginative work is more than a dictionary: it is a true introduction to European art of the past, including - despite the title - entries on classical mythology. It should prove of great service to all those who lecture, write, or simply want to know more about the relationship between belief, liturgy and art." Erika Langmuir, The National Gallery, London
