Full description for Mosaic

  • Mosaic, a collection of articles written in honour of A. H. S. (Peter) Megaw, closely reflects the scope of his work during a lifetime dedicated to Mediaeval and Byzantine art history and archaeology. Colleagues and students from Cyprus, Greece, Great Britain, the United States, Switzerland, France and South Africa pay tribute to his wide interests: his early studies of Middle Byzantine architecture (published in the Annual of the British School at Athens from 1931 onwards and still regularly cited); his immense contribution to the Department of Antiquities of Cyprus, with numerous restorations and excavations; his pioneering research on mediaeval ceramics and sculpture, and the development of kite photography. The entire work is suffused with a shared love of Cyprus, where Peter and Elektra Megaw made their home.
