Princeton University Press, 1979 4to (30 cm), XIII, 272 pp; 162 plates. Publisher's cloth and dust jacket (dj slightly dusted and frayed at extremities). From the blurb: "With over 400 scenic illustrations and more than 1200 portrait figures, busts and medallions, the Sacra Parallela is the most lavishly illustrated Byzantine manuscript still in existence. Yet it is of primary importance not so much for its innate pictorial quality as for what it can tell us of the lost miniature cycles it epitomizes. For many of these illustrations the miniature of the Sacra Parallela provide the only surviving testimony. Reproducing in their original size all the scenic illustrations, Kurt Weitzmann groups them according to the sources from which they were excerpted. His text provide an exhaustive analysis of each illustration, its style, iconography and relationships."
