A Cross-Disciplinary Approach to Visual Culture Before 1600

Studies in Iconography (ISSN 0148-1029) is an annual publication, housed at the Index of Christian Art at Princeton University since October 1999, and dedicated to publishing innovative work on iconography and every aspect of visual culture of the period up to 1600. Past state-of-research articles have dealt with subjects as diverse as the art of the English parish church, the study of marginal imagery in Gothic manuscripts, and recent approaches to early Christian and Byzantine art. These topics are approached from an interdisciplinary, theoretical, or critical perspective by eminent scholars in the field. The journal also includes a number of investigative articles on a variety of themes written by both established and emerging scholars. Reviews of published studies in iconography and art history are included in every volume.
