Description: This book is the first monograph on the world of fabrics in the early Byzantine church. It is based on the famous Ravenna mosaics of V-VII century, declared to be classical and included in the UNESCO world heritage. Despite the wide popularity of the images themselves, the abundance of fabrics in them remained a mystery. Meanwhile, it is these mosaics that keep almost the only visual evidence of the use of textile in the ancient church. The research is unique in decoding the images of fabrics like a living language, due to their correlation with authentic Greek texts. The material obtained gradually reveals the historical, symbolic and theological meaning of the depicted textile objects.
Notes: Includes bibliographical references.
