For those interested in manuscript studies in the vicinity of art history, and generally in the intersection of religious art and religious texts, there is now a new journal: Museikon: A Journal of Religious Art and Culture/Revue d’art et de culture religieuse, based in Alba Iulia, Romania. The first issue, 1 (2017), has just been published and is all readily available online – you can find it here. I’ve pasted the TOC below for convenience.

I contributed to the issue a short note on John 3:5 in Codex Sinaiticus. Most articles, however, are dealing with various issues in iconography which will be of interest in particular to those with a penchant for art history and medieval and later Eastern European churches. Enjoy!
