About This Item
Gothenburg: University of Gothenburg, 2009. First. Hardbound. VG, DJ has some edge wear and a piece of the top color missing where tape was removed, two other small tape marks. Burnt orange cloth boards with gold lettering and color pictorial DJ, 399pp, 55 color plates, numerous BW figures and illustrations. Signed by the author. From the book--This dissertation deals with representations in European art from the Old Testament Apocrypha. The OT Apocrypha are books of the Bible which are not part of the Hebrew Canon. Four Books from the Apocrypha have been chosen for an in-depth study--The Book of Tobit, the Book of Judith, Additions to the Book of Esther and Additions to the Book of Daniel with the stories of the idol Bel, the dragon god, Susanna and the Elders, the Three Men in the Fiery Furnace and Daniel in the Lions' Den. The main aims are to trace the different developments of Apocryphal images in both Roman Catholic and Protestant parts of Europe from one century to another, beginning with the catacombs in Rome, and to see to what extent the biblical and apocryphal texts have influenced or inspired other artists, sculptors, printmakers and other artisans.
