Studies in Iconography: Themes and Variations
![An empty frame for a portable reliquary icon dating to 1347, made of wood, modeled gesso, verre églomisé, glass cabochons, and relics. Surrounding the empty space within the frame are seventeen relics, still visible. A Latin inscription around the base reads: This work has been made under the year of the Lord CCCXLVII [1347] in the time of the Lord Mini/Cini. The coats of arms of Cinughi and the hospital are visible on the base. Another inscription, LUCAS ME FECIT (Luke made me), is written on both sides.](https://files.wmich.edu/s3fs-public/styles/medium/public/2024-08/sitv_0.png?itok=BWWV_8GO)

The Locus of Meaning in Medieval Art
Edited by Lena Eva Liepe
This book addresses the status and relevance of iconography and iconology in the post-Panofskian study of medieval art. These disciplines remain crucial for the continued praxis in the discipline.
