Summary:[...]scholarship has not paid due attention to the multiplicity of appropriations working in multiple directions in the integration of European art in the East. A similar pattern is shown in chapter 4, by Sylvie L. Merian, in an analysis of Dutch prints used as models by Armenian artists in the Near East that attends to the heavily illustrated printed books reaching Armenia from Europe as well as to the first Bible printed in the Armenian language in Amsterdam in 1666. Chapter 9, by Corinna T. Gallori, closes the volume with a discussion on the role of prints in the crafting of Mexican feather mosaics, a cultural artifact in which Christian images combined with a native craft technique that modified the visual source through texture.
