And how did modern scientific testing challenge long-standing assumptions about their age and place in the history of Christian art?
How did the Garima Gospels survive invasions, environmental threats, and centuries of history while remaining within a living monastic tradition?
And how did modern scientific testing challenge long-standing assumptions about their age and place in the history of Christian art?
