Hailed as “a splendid visual feast” (Julia Smith, University of Oxford) and “a masterpiece of methodology… a must-read volume for scholars, students and interested public alike” (Claudia Bolgia, University of Edinburgh), the book explores material objects from the European, Byzantine, and Islamic worlds. Don’t miss the authors’ lecture, “Divine, Desirable, Deadly: the Middle Ages through Objects,” which will take place on December 12 at the Cleveland Museum of Art.
