The illustrated Octateuch is the most complex work of its kind produced in Byzantium. It consists of the first eight books of the Old Testament in the Septuagint translation, which is surrounded by thousands of comments from the writings of the Church Fathers and notes with variant readings; the text itself is interrupted by hundreds of illustrations. There are five Octateuchs and they date from the twelfth and thirteenth centuries; one example, destroyed in 1922 and known only from low quality reproductions, is published here from a newly discovered set of photographs. Since the early twentieth century the five manuscripts have been taken to be closely related, deriving from two different models that ultimately depend on a single, Early Christian source. In a preliminary chapter the author introduces the constituent parts of the manuscripts and the studies used to evaluate them. A group of miniatures that is considered to be the foundation for the theory of two sources receives a careful review. Then, working from the interruptions to and restored lacunae in the text, as well as the notes to it, the author shows that the manuscripts all descend from a single source; with the help of two Octateuchs related by textual content (but without illustration) it is possible to describe the lost source with considerable accuracy. Analysis of the illustrations shows that the source was made around 1060. The conclusion lays to rest issues that have been actively debated since the time of Josef Strzygowski. The principal audience for this study consists of Byzantinists concerned with manuscript studies. It should also be of interest to medievalists generally, art historians and those concerned with the transmission and use of the Bible in the Middle Ages. The author expects the book to be read with profit by graduate students, who can benefit from the approach.

Scholars have until now lacked a detailed study of the Octateuchs, a group of five illustrated Byzantine manuscripts that accompany the text of the first eight books of the Bible. Since the first historical studies of Early Christian and Byzantine art in the late nineteenth century, the Octateuchs have been considered important to hypotheses about the development of biblical illustration as well as to more detailed iconographic studies. John Lowden's study makes available much new information about the Octateuchs that includes a number of previously unpublished manuscript images and pages. Lowden examines the Octateuchs both individually and as a group, determining the relationships among them and offering many suggestions concerning the process of their creation. The author also covers topics ranging from antiquity to the Renaissance and takes up issues as diverse as the invention of illustration, the transmission of iconography, the role of archetypes and lost models, and the artist as copyist or inventor. His broader discussion includes individual works ranging from Dura Europos to the Sistine Chapel and art-historical constructs such as the Macedonian Renaissance. In addition, Lowden critically examines approaches to studies of such illustrations, specifically those of Kurt Weitzmann.

This volume offers an overview of Byzantine manuscript illustration, a central branch of Byzantine art and culture. Just like written texts, illustrations bear witness to Byzantine material culture, imperial ideology and religious beliefs, as well as to the development and spread of Byzantine art. In this sense illustrated books reflect the society that produced and used them. Being portable, they could serve as diplomatic gifts or could be acquired by foreigners. In such cases they became “emissaries” of Byzantine art and culture in Western Europe and the Arabic world. The volume provides for the first time a comprehensive overview of the material, divided by text categories, including both secular and religious manuscripts, and analyses which texts were illustrated in Byzantium, and how.
