The Key to the Brescia Casket: Typology and the Early Christian Imagination - Christianity and Judaism in Antiquity
Catherine Brown Tkacz
The elusive rationale for the Brescia Casket, an ivory reliquary carved in northern Italy ca. 390, has long tantalized scholars. In The Key to the Brescia Casket, Dr. Catherine Brown Tkacz reveals that the secret to its meaning lies in exegetical typology - the interpretation of Old Testament people and events as prefiguring the Messiah.
