Her broad and close acquaintance with the field of Armenian art history covered many fields of Armenian artistic creativity. Nira Stone made notable contributions to the study of Armenian manuscript painting, mosaics, and other forms of artistic expression. Of particular interests are her researches on this art in its historical and religious contexts, such as the study of apocryphal elements in Armenian Gospel iconography, the place of the mosaics of Jerusalem in the context of mosaics in Byzantine Palestine, and of the interplay between religious movements, such as hesychasm, and Armenian manuscript painting. 410 0$aArmenian Texts and Studies$v2. 606 $aArt, Armenian 606 $aIllumination of books and manuscripts, Armenian 615 0$aArt, Armenian. 615 0$aIllumination of books and manuscripts, Armenian. 676 $a709.5662 700 $aStone$b Nira$0540191 702 $aStone$b Michael E.$f1938- 702 $aBereznyak$b Asya$f1980- 801 0$bNL-LeKB 801 1$bNL-LeKB 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910795313003321 996 $aStudies in Armenian art$93765012 997 $aUNINA
