Book Overview:
Compiled on Mount Athos from 1730-1734 from ancient and contemporary sources, this book is among the oldest of the extant Greek-style narrative patternbooks and instruction top texts. A classic hermeneia (literally interpretation or expounding), this oversize, small-print work includes introductary sections on icon painting techniques and describes hundreds of figures of saints, Old and New Testament events, parables, feast days, and decorations of churches.
