Warren T. Woodfin is a specialist in the art and ritual of Byzantium and its neighboring cultures. He currently holds the post of Kallinikeion Assistant Professor of Byzantine Art and History at Queens College, the City University of New York, and is Postdoctoral Fellow at the Kunsthistorisches Institut, University of Zürich, Switzerland.
The Embodied Icon is, in sum, an outstanding contribution to
textile and clothing studies as well as to the broader religious
history of the medieval world.

The great virtue of this book is to explore an important
development with great implications, which go to the heart of the
dilemmas confronting the Orthodox Church in the last centuries of
Byzantium.
