Kontakia of Romanos, Byzantine Melodist
Edward King, Columbia, Missouri, 1970
Description
The book is a first translation, which will have heavy use by analytical scholars requiring legibility and physical sturdiness. A straightforward approach was the solution for the line-for-line verse.
Special Features: Binding stamp made from woodcut illustration of Romanos rendered by Fritz Kredel from period source material.
