PhD Candidate Brad Hostetler's Article in Eastern Christian Art

PhD Candidate Brad Hostetler’s article, “The Iconography of Text: the Placement of an Inscription on a Middle Byzantine Reliquary,” was published in the influential journal Eastern Christian Art  in its Late Antique and Islamic Contexts.  

Hostetler addresses dedicatory inscriptions on Middle Byzantine reliquaries, arguing for a more nuanced reading of the inscriptions through a case study on a reliquary from the Protaton Monastery on Mount Athos, dated between the eleventh and twelfth centuries.

The article originates from his dissertation and was first presented at the Byzantine Studies Conference in 2009.
