Christopher Walter's research on Byzantine art emphasises the significance of iconography, as the Byzantines believed pictures could convey messages. This collection of Walter’s essays explores the way in which images were used in manuscripts, for ecclesiological purposes, to instruct on liturgy, and to depict the role of saints in daily life.
