The Athens Publishing presents with pride the first internationally recognized corpus of color miniatures of Byzantine manuscripts from Mount Athos, a laborious work of the Patriarchal Foundation for Patristic Studies.

The publication of these miniatures satisfies the most pressing demands of Byzantine studies, as these unparalleled examples of Byzantine art have until now been difficult for researchers to access.

With this publication, the technical difficulties faced by specialists are alleviated, as they will for the first time have at their disposal for research and comparative study the abundant, diverse, and high-quality treasure of the miniatures from Mount Athos.
