Here the reader will find incomparable specimens of Byzantine art at its finest, one of the most truly aesthetic expressions of Byzantine civilization and post-classical Greek tradition. The superb technical finish of the originals is preserved thanks to the impeccable color printing of the volumes, enhanced by high-quality craft binding and slip cases heightened in gold. Thus the books themselves aspires to the level of a true work of art for the collector, with great value not only for students and scholars but for all those who are admirers of Byzantine civilization.
