Traces changes in the visual representation of the Antichrist and the Whore of Babylon through seven centuries. Begins with the 10th-century Spanish tradition of Beatus and shows how images of the arch-fiend couple responded to political and religious conditions throughout Europe. Draws on many previously unpublished illuminated manuscripts. Illustrated in black and white. Distributed in the US by St. Martin's Press. Annotation copyright by Book News, Inc., Portland, OR
