Hardcover. Condición: new. Hardcover. Dieter T. Roth presents an extensive study of the so-called staurogram, argued to be the earliest visual depiction of the crucifixion of Christ. Roth examines the origins of this depiction in early New Testament manuscripts as a ligature or compendium of two letters in certain abbreviations of the words cross (stauros in Greek) or crucify (stauroo in Greek) in which the Greek letter rho is superimposed upon the Greek letter tau. In this work, the staurogram, ultimately understood to be a simple yet powerful depiction of Jesus crucified, is analyzed and located within the framework of ancient abbreviations, the nomina sacra, and the developing Christian visual culture in order to offer, for the first time, a wide-ranging presentation of this symbol in early Christianity. From the symbols origins within words in some of our earliest, extant New Testament manuscripts to its use as a free-standing Christogram, this volume provides important insight into how Christians, beginning with the staurogram, depicted visually their faith in a crucified Christ. Considers the staurogram within the context of ancient abbreviations, the nomina sacra, and early Christianity in order to provide the first comprehensive study of the earliest visual depiction of the crucified Christ This item is printed on demand.
