About the book >.>.> Although” Byzantine” may serve as a general ex-pression it insufficiently defines the many varieties of styles of the arts of the first twelve centuries. This present volume is I think the first attempt to examine these traditions and to draw from them the comparative values of the arts as deve-loped in the various new countries from the old ones and to trace ab origine the forms of medi-?val painting and even of later Art bringing that of our own country into line. No one is more aware than myself of its deficiencies or of the difficulty of selecting and condensing into the small space of this volume researches of which a reasonable account might form a library. All that can be said for. (OS)
