Notes:
The ceramic icon painting is one of the scarcely studied themes in the art of medieval Bulgaria. All that is known in this field has been based on fragmented and few in number painted and embossed white clay icons and meddalions. Using the entire icon material available up to now and investigating it with modern scientific methods is the main merit of this book, which aims to fully describe and analyse the medieval Bulgarian ceramic icon from its appearance and flourishing in the late 9th century. The work is based mainly on materials obtained archaelogicaly (mostly excavations) by the author duting the last 25 years. Richly illustrated, this book is an indispensable source of information to anyone interested in the medieval art of the Balkans.
