It features key monuments in the history of Byzantine illumination.
Trade Review"This extraordinarily handsome volume presents in detail 63 Greek manuscripts and fragments to be found at Princeton University (including the University Library, the Scheide collection and the University Art Museum) and one volume at the Theological Seminary. It is a substantial volume, for its appealing presentation, its heft and its rigorous presentation. By current standards, this is a luxury production, and it shows just cause for Princeton's longstanding reputation in Hellenic studies and its strengths in publishing its endeavors in this field."--Glenn Peers, Medieval Review "Here is a generously presented large quarto volume, handsomely designed, and printed and bound on acid-free paper, to ensure that it will last physically as long as its scholarly content, and be enjoyed and appreciated for just as long; and that will be for many years indeed. This is a book of great value for academic studies of mediaeval Greek, for studies of Biblical and other religious texts, or for the history of the book."--Stuart James, Reference Reviews "Greek Manuscripts at Princeton is ... such a model of this genre that it should find a place in all serious university libraries and a home with manuscript scholars of all stripes and Byzantinists across the subspecialties of the discipline."--Leslie Brubaker, Speculum
