Description
English: Book Front Cover with Christ Pantokrator. Constantinople, late 10th-early 11th century.

This cover, which long contained a fourteenth-century Venetian evangelary, is one of the many objects that presumably reached Venice during the Fourth Crusade as booty from Constantinople. Originally it covered a Byzantine manuscript, most likely a Gospel Book.
