Reviews

'This admirable and indispensable book offers a lavishly illustrated comparison of the visual construction of kingship by the rival Armenian dynasties of the Bagratunis and the Artsrunis. ... The great strength of this book is the art-historical analysis... Scholars and students should welcome this book...' Bulletin of the School of Oriental and African Studies 'There is much to recommend in this intelligent, thorough, and sharply focused investigation. ... With its close contextualization and insightful art-historical analyses, Between Islam and Byzantium stands as a central contribution not only to tenth- and eleventh-century artistic patronage in Armenia but more broadly to the study of medieval kingship and its imagery.' Speculum 'Jones' book provides a comprehensive and thorough examination of a relatively unknown medieval society and its culture and is therefore most welcome and appreciated.' Art History
