Icon vocabulary

[Melissa Frazier]

Dear Colleagues,

I have a question from a student of mine currently studying in Yaroslavl,
and I was hoping that one of you might have an answer for him, maybe
especially something he can access on-line.  Please send any suggestions to
me at mfrazier at slc.edu.

Thank you,

Melissa Frazier

My student's question:
Melissa, I was wondering if you could help me out with something. I
probably mentioned that I've started working at the Yaroslavl' Museum of
Icons, doing translations of the opisaniya of the various exhibits, and I
was hoping that you'd be able to point me toward some kind of resource to
help with terminology and the like. For the most part it's been fairly
simple, but I'm sure that some of the terms have standard English
equivalents particular to the study of Icon Art. So, if there were someone
or, something that you could recommend in connexion with this, it would
help a great deal.
