Plotinus and the origins of medieval aesthetics

Plotinus and the Origins of Medieval Aesthetics, an iconic essay of byzantinist Andrâe Grabar, first published in 1945 in French, is here presented to the reader for the first time translated in English. It is preceded by an historiographical introduction by Adrien Palladino, presenting the genesis of the text, replacing it within the opus of the scholar, and assessing its relevance within the new horizons of the field of art history.
