Description

Palaeographia Sacra Pictoria by J.O. Westwood. First Edition. Published by William Smith, London, 1843-45.

"Palaeographia Sacra Pictoria" is a book written by John Obadiah Westwood, an English ornithologist, entomologist, and archaeologist. It was first published in 1843 and is a study of early Christian iconography, particularly the painted and illuminated manuscripts of the early Church. The book provides an in-depth look at the history, symbolism, and techniques used in these works, as well as an examination of their cultural and historical context. Westwood's "Palaeographia Sacra Pictoria" remains an important reference for scholars and enthusiasts of early Christian art and illuminated manuscripts.
