The monumental book "Icons of Cyprus" was published in 1992 by the Holy Archbishopric of Cyprus in Nicosia.
Key details of this prominent work include:
• Author: Written by the distinguished Cypriot byzantinologist, art historian, and archaeologist Athanasios Papageorghiou.
• Content: It serves as a comprehensive academic and visual survey of the evolution, stylistic shifts, and history of Byzantine iconography in Cyprus, spanning from the early Byzantine era through the post-Byzantine centuries.
• Format: Published as a luxury, large-format hardcover coffee table book containing high-quality, full-color photographic plates documenting rare and historically significant Cypriot icons.
Dimensions: 32.5 cm x 25 cm x 2.5 cm.
Because it is long out of print, copies are considered highly collectible and are mostly found through rare book dealers, international auctions, or for reference in Cypriot Public and State Libraries.
