Description:

The book deals with the history and architecture of the famous monastery of Saint Catherine on the Sinai peninsula. The text describes and illustrates the mosaics and wall-paintings, and the precious items of Orthodoxy and Byzantine art – icons, vestments, and illuminated manuscripts of immeasurable value – that are treasured within the walls of this monastery, where ‘the feet of God walked in ancient time’, and which has been called by scholars ‘the most important monastery in the world’.
