Image, Text, and Context: Studies in Honour of Anthony Snodgrass is a collection of essays that explore the relationship between images, texts, and their contexts. The essays cover a wide range of topics, from the use of images in ancient Greek literature to the role of text in the interpretation of medieval art.

The book is divided into three parts. The first part, "Images and Texts in the Ancient World," includes essays on the use of images in Greek poetry, drama, and historiography. The second part, "Images and Texts in the Middle Ages," includes essays on the role of text in the interpretation of medieval art, the use of images in medieval literature, and the relationship between images and texts in medieval manuscripts.

The third part of the book, "Images and Texts in the Modern World," includes essays on the role of images in the interpretation of modern art, the use of images in modern literature, and the relationship between images and texts in modern popular culture.

The essays in Image, Text, and Context are all well-written and informative, and they provide a valuable overview of the relationship between images, texts, and their contexts. The book is a must-read for anyone interested in the study of images and texts.
