Until now, the illustrations have been examined mainly for their depiction of the \"militarization of the Christian ethos\" (Binski). However, they exhibit a wealth of monstrous allegorical figures, some expressing significant social and religious tensions in their anti-heretical \"othering.\" In the first image, a friar or canon receives a scroll from Christ. The central illustrated diagram depicts the battle-lines of the monstrous Seven Deadly Sins with their vices against a mounted knight and his winged vanguard. The final illustration shows a six-winged cherub defeating the seven-headed dragon of sin. The article interprets the illustrations' blurring boundaries between us and them, the human and the monstrous, the demonic and the divine.","PeriodicalId":41216,"journal":{"name":"Preternature-Critical and Historical Studies on the Preternatural","volume":"231 1","pages":"11 - 52"},"PeriodicalIF":0.2,"publicationDate":"2020-02-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"89228954","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The History of the Greek Language from the Origins to Late Antiquity, edited by Anastasios Christidis, is an extremely substantial multiauthored collection of articles; most (if not all) of these appear to have been written especially for this volume, and they therefore form an organic and coherent whole with a logical sequence. Forty-five Greek and thirty non-Greek (mainly British and French) scholars have contributed a total of 123 articles, grouped into nine parts, with three appendices. Most names are very familiar to anyone working in Classical or Modern Greek philology (to name just a few, without meaning to undervalue the others: Brixhe, Brock, Bubenik, Chadwick, Duhoux, Horrocks, Joseph, Malikouti-Drachman, Maronitis, Panagiotou, Philippaki-Warburton, Setatos, West). Contrary to what the title of the book may lead one to suppose, the subject areas of the book are not just the language of the period in question and the history behind it: an admirable array of related topics is also included.
