Ethiopian Devotions: Paintings, Illuminated Manuscripts, and Processional Crosses edited by Marilyn E. Heldman

Edited by Marilyn E. Heldman, Ethiopian Devotions explores Ethiopian Orthodox visual culture from the fourteenth through the twentieth centuries. Essays place paintings, illuminated manuscripts, processional crosses and other devotional objects within their artistic and religious contexts.

More than one hundred images accompany discussion of architecture, liturgy, literature and the lives of saints. This is an illustrated study of sacred art and cultural history, not a prayer manual or a general guide to religious practice.
