Mahmoud Zibawi

A handsome coffee table book with color and black-and-white photos of Syrian, Armenian, Egyptian (Coptic), and Ethiopic Christian art and iconography with an introduction(and maps) for each ancient Christian community. Covers Antiquity through the early Medieval era.

The kind of book which is immensely helpful to teachers as a source of photos (for iconography, art history, and clothing) as well as limited amounts of text in Syriac, Armenian, Coptic, and Ge'ez.

A helpful reminder that Christianity is (and was) a wider world than Roman Catholic and the Greek (or Russian) Orthodox Churches.
