The Department of Art and Archaeology, Princeton University, has graciously provided this week’s book giveaway, Greek Manuscripts at Princeton, Sixth to Nineteenth Century: A Descriptive Catalogue by Sofia Kotzabassi & Nancy Patterson Ševcenko. The book is absolutely gorgeous–with 250 color illustrations and 29 halftones. It’s like holding a museum/art gallery in your hands.

We have the book under lock and key, waiting to give it away to this Friday’s winner. All our Facebook/Twitter followers are automatically entered to win. If you’re not one of PUP’s FB/TW followers, become one so you have a chance to win this incredible book. Let your friends know and help us reach our goal of 1,000 PUP Facebook fans.

The book represents both a broad range of time–from the early Byzantine period through the mid-nineteenth century–and a broad range of content, from Byzantine copies of classical texts to Gospel books, Lectionaries and patristic homilies, hymns and texts of the liturgy, medical books, and Holy Land pilgrimage guides.
