1992 · New York
by Bartman, Elizabeth
New York: Columbia University, 1992. Hardbound. VG/Good with some fading to dj spine. Blue cloth with gold lettering; brown dj with bw illustration and white lettering; 222 pp. text and 94 bw plates. The book is a study of the little-acknowledged product of the copyist workshop, the statuette copy. In-depth essays comment on the techniques, formal values and meanings of the miniatures while shedding light on the cultural process of Hellenization that transformed Roman society and shaped Rome's artistic legacy to the West.
