Beauty, Devotion and Spirituality : The Art and Culture of the Oratorians of Saint Philip Neri /
:
There is scant research on the art produced under the Congregation of the Oratory of Saint Philip Neri, with the exception of a couple of general books focused primarily on major Oratorian art pieces. Therefore, this book of essays aims to discuss the art and culture produced by or associated with the Oratorians by providing a broad overview focused especially on rarely investigated issues. The authors focus on this very important artistic production, commonly forgotten when compared with other religious productions of art, by covering geographical areas spanning from Sri Lanka to Mexico, including Italy, Spain, the United Kingdom, India and Brazil.

Saints and role models in Judaism and Christianity /
:
This volume deals with the role of saints and exemplary individuals in Judaism and Christianity. Although sharing the Hebrew Bible and recognizing the same Biblical figures there, both religions have developed widely divergent perspectives upon the significance of these figures, although there are occasional common motifs and themes. Moreover, even the contrasting themes betray an underlying interaction between both religions as is clear from the contributions on, for example, Melchizedek, Elijah, the Desert Fathers, Rabbis on clothing, the Apostle Peter in Jewish tradition, the Maccabees in Christian tradition and the Biblical examples in Saint Antony the Hermit. The book examines Jewish and Christian perspectives upon saints and role models from the Biblical period to the present time. It will be of special importance to scholars and general readers interested in an interdisciplinary approach to theology, rabbinics, history, art history and much more.

From Prophet to Miracle-Working Saint : Dynamic Approaches to Elijah in Ancient and Medieval Cultures /
:
The versatile figure of Elijah as Jewish prophet, Christian saint and Muslim "green man" plays at once a controversial and a unifying role across cultures. This collection of essays delves into the rich Elijah traditions that connect late-antique Mesopotamia to modern Europe. It emphasizes how Elijah's many-sided character cannot be explained by his sparse mentions in the Bible. His enormous popularity rather depends on a network of artistic and performative interpretations that developed in different traditions and were divulged through cultic practices and feasts in which Elijah was the protagonist.

Mary Magdalene : Iconographic studies from the Middle ages to the Baroque /
:
Mary Magdalene, Iconographic Studies from the Middle Ages to the Baroque examines the iconographic inventions in Magdalene imagery and the contextual factors that shaped her representation in visual art from the fourteenth to the seventeenth centuries. Unique to other saints in the medieval lexicon, images of Mary Magdalene were altered over time to satisfy the changing needs of her patrons as well as her audience. By shedding light on the relationship between the Magdalene and her patrons, both corporate and private, as well as the religious institutions and regions where her imagery is found, this anthology reveals the flexibility of the Magdalene's character in art and, in essence, the reinvention of her iconography from one generation to the next.

Visions d'Égypte : Émile Prisse d'Avennes (1807-1879) /
:
Catalogue de l'exposition présentée à la BnF, Richelieu du 1e mars au 5 juin 2011. Ingénieur de formation, Émile Prisse d'Avennes devient tour à tour égyptologue, archéologue, ethnologue : il s'intéresse autant aux ruines pharaoniques qu'aux monuments islamiques, et vit à l'orientale au milieu de populations dont il observe les coutumes. Des deux séjours qu'il accomplit en Égypte, de 1827 à 1844, puis de 1858 à 1860, il rapporte objets, aquarelles, dessins, calques, estampages et photographies qui constituent un fonds iconographique sans égal.

Late antique images of the Virgin Annunciate spinning : allotting the scarlet and the purple /
:
In Late Antique Images of the Virgin Annunciate Spinning: allotting the scarlet and the purple , Catherine Gines Taylor traces the way early Christians assimilated the symbolism of spinning into images of the Annunciation. Taylor offers an art historical and interdisciplinary look at the earliest images of Mary spinning, underscoring the iconographic model of idealized matronage consistent with lay piety and the cult of Mary. The personal and domestic nature of this motif is evidence toward popular Mariological devotion that preceded the exclusive, semi-divine presentation of the Theotokos , and stands in contrast with traditional ascetic models for Mary.
