[A] welcome addition to the study of medieval art and architecture, as well as the framing devices, both physical and rhetorical, that were used to make the divine manifest in ecclesiastical space ... This monograph should be a standard reference and starting-point for future discussions of spatial archetypes in Byzantium and the medieval world. * Nathan S. Dennis, Sacred Architecture *

The book is beautifully produced with many good-quality color photographs and fine drawings. It also collects and discusses an immense amount of material ranging from Syria to Italy, and from the third century to the post-Byzantine period. ... this book will likely become a useful reference for the archaeological material it assembles. --Vasileios Marinis, Bryn Mawr Classical Review Summing Up: Recommended. Researchers only. --W. Cahn, CHOICE Bogdanovic's study of Byzantine ciboria is an impressive example of scholarship. The research and documentation of the large corpus of ciboria is meticulous and will be the starting place for all future scholarship on this particular type of church furnishing. In addition, her interpretation of the ciboria as a type of micro-architecture raises our level of understanding about their form and function within the broader contexts of church design and its symbolism as well as the liturgy performed under their canopies. -- Mark J. Johnson, Brigham Young University The Framing of Sacred Space is a major contribution to the field of Byzantine studies. Having devoted over a decade to studying churches of the Byzantine rite and earning both a master's as well as a PhD., Bogdanovic's book is impeccably researched...This author's scholarly study serves to further knowledge in architecture, fine arts, and religion.
