Includes various photographs and illustrations, both colour and b/w. On the 1900th anniversary of the writing of the Revelation of Saint John the Divine, the National Bank of Greece republished 'Icons of Patmos', the classic book on the subject by the Byzantine scholar and member of the Greek Academy Manolis Chatzidakis. All copies of the first edition were sold long ago, which shows how popular it was both with specialists and the public at large. This book combines academic clarity with reading pleasure while making accessible the treasury of icons belonging to the Monastery of St. John the Theologia on Patmos.
