Provides a rich, dense account of graphic signs and monograms in the Roman world from the fourth to ninth centuries ... Highly recommended.

CHOICE

Despite the narrow focus that the book's title may seem to imply, this is a work of prodigious scholarship. Historians interested in many facets of late antique and early medieval religion, culture, and politics will find much of value in Garipzanov's compelling study.

Celia Chazelle, Speculum

Graphic Signs of Authority in Late Antiquity and the Early Middle Ages presents a cultural history of graphic signs and examines how they were employed to communicate secular and divine authority in the late antique Mediterranean and early medieval Europe. Visual materials such as the sign of the cross, christograms, monograms, and other such devices, are examined against the backdrop of the cultural, religious, and socio-political transition from the late Graeco-Roman world to that of medieval Europe. This monograph is a synthetic study of graphic visual evidence from a wide range of material media that have rarely been studied collectively, including various mass-produced items and unique objects of art, architectural monuments and epigraphic inscriptions, as well as manuscripts and charters. This study promises to provide a timely reference tool for historians, art historians, archaeologists, epigraphists, manuscript scholars, and numismatists.

Provides a rich, dense account of graphic signs and monograms in the Roman world from the fourth to ninth centuries ... Highly recommended.
The first synthetic history of graphic signs of authority from late antiquity and the early Middle Ages Offers a truly interdisciplinary study in its treatment of material artefacts, diverse visual media, and relevant textual evidence Includes approximately 150 visual images highly relevant to its narrative and largely unknown to medievalists and specialists in late antiquity The book's broad geographic scope breaches the traditional historiographic division between the early medieval Latin West and early Byzantine East
