Representing the decline and fall: nineteenth-century responses to the Asclepius/Hygieia and Clementinus ivory diptychs, published in 2013 by Ashgate, in an edited volume entitled: Wonderful Things Byzantium through its Art.
‘The essays collected in this book were delivered at the XLII Spring Symposium of Byzantine Studies, held in London in 2009 to accompany the exhibition Byzantium 330-1453, at the Royal Academy. The exhibition was one of the most ambitious and complex exhibitions ever mounted by the Royal Academy, as well as one of the most popular, and the overall aim of the book is to reflect on the exhibition of Byzantine art, both as an academic and popular exercise, and through the choice and discussion of individual objects’.
