| book description |

In this study of medieval iconography, Rosemary Muir Wright looks at the changing image of the Antichrist (and his female counterpart, the Whore of Babylon) through seven centuries. Taking as her starting point the Beatus tradition, Muir Wright draws on many previously unpublished illuminated manuscripts from throughout Europe, to illustrate the way the image of Antichrist was used and how it changed through the centuries in response to changes in the political enviroment. She looks particularly at the propaganda uses it was put to in times of theological and political crises. She finishes her volume with an in-depth discussion of the Whore of Babylon. Heavily illustrated throughout, this study should be equally valuable to student of history, art history and theology.
