St. Catherine's Monastery , Sinai
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 18 years ago
This is an excellent photographic essay on the monastery - a must-have to remind you of an exciting visit or to prompt you into visiting Sinai very soon. Both the photographs and the essay are of first class standard. And of course the author and photographer had access to parts not available to ordinary visitors which makes the book even more valuable. As a constant reminder of a once-in-a-life-time adventure I cannot recommend it enough.

This book is a compliment to the catalogue of the Metropolitan Museum of Art exhibition BYZANTIUM: FAITH AND POWER (1261 - 1667) and especially to the exhibition itself. For lovers of icons this was a must see exhibition and if you were not fortunate enough to see it in person, the catalogue, accompanied by SAINT CATHERINE'S MONASTERY, SINAI, EQYPT: A PHOTOGRAPHIC ESSAY would more than suffice.
