Patmos Treasures of the Monastery

[...]"Patmos treasures of the monastery" contains chapters on the various kinds of works of art housed in the monastery from the byzantine and modern greek popular traditions, and also on the rare manuscripts and valuable editions in the library, the richest in the Aegean. These chapters, each lavishly illustrated, deal with the architecture of the fortress-like complex of the monastery, the outstanding wall paintings and icons, the masterpieces of gold-embroidery and church silver, the exquisite miniatures in the manuscripts, and the other treasures in the library and the archive.[...] George A.
