SynopsisWise men is the usual translation of magi, the word used to describe Jesus' three visitors in the early Greek texts of the New Testament. Magi were priestly magicians or philosophers who studied astrology and were believed to have occult powers. Gold, frankincense and myrrh were the precious offerings they brought to Jesus, but who were these men and why did they choose such gifts? This volume, illustrated in colour with masterpieces from the Medieval and Renaissance collections of The Metropolitan Museum of Art, tells the story of the Magi and the history and lore of their gifts. In addition, a gift of the gifts is included: 24ct Gold in a glass bottle and two mesh bags containing frankincense and myrrh.
