Silver played an important role in establishing patterns of patronage in the Eastern Roman Empire, particularly in churches, which were endowed with large quantities of the precious metal, both as furniture revetments and as liturgical objects.  This landmark publication treats one of the most important hoards of Byzantine silver liturgical objects, as well as related objects, their historical context, their modern history, their inscriptions, and their manufacture.
