A Cross-disciplinary Approach to visual culture before 1600

This annual publication transferred to its new home at the Index of Christian Art, Princeton University, in October 1999. It is one of the premier journals to deal with iconography and covers every aspect of visual culture up to 1600. Published on an annual basis, past volumes have included articles which have dealt with subjects as diverse as the parish church to recent approaches to early Christian and Byzantine art. These topics are of current interest and are, like the other studies in the journal, approached from an interdisciplinary or theoretical perspective by eminent scholars in the field. The journal also includes a number of shorter scholarly articles, on a variety of themes, written by some of the most learned students and scholars in the field. Published studies in iconography and art history are reviewed in every volume.

The most recent journal, Volume 28, 2007 includes
