English summary: This volume contains addenda and a central index to the series Die Karolingischen Miniaturen, published in seven volumes between 1930 and 2009. German description: Der Band beinhaltet Nachtrage zu der zwischen 1930 und 2009 in sieben Banden vorgelegten Reihe der Karolingischen Miniaturen, Handschriften, die in Band 1 (Die Schule von Tours) oder Band 4 (Einzelhandschriften aus Lotharingien) zu behandeln gewesen waren, bei deren Erscheinen aber noch nicht bekannt oder nicht als zugehorig erkannt waren. Zudem erschliesst ein Gesamtregister alle in den Banden 1-8 behandelten oder erwahnten Handschriften, einschliesslich einer Aktualisierung der in den alteren Banden mitgeteilten Bibliotheksstandorte und Signaturen, was den Band zu einem unentbehrlichen Nachschlagewerk zu den grossen Schulen der karolingischen Buchmalerei macht.
This is a catalogue of the pre-Gothic Revival stained glass found
at 50 sites in Cheshire. Many of these are churches, but there are
also domestic residences and other buildings. Highlights include an
important 14th-century regional workshop, probably based in
Chester, whose output survives at 9 sites in the county;
16th-century armorials and donors; a fascinating window of 1581 at
High Legh which demonstrates the Elizabethan religious settlement;
a unique window commemorating the English Civil War; and a plethora
of 17th-century quarries depicting a wide range of subjects such as
English monarchs, classical sibyls, military drill and menial
occupations. The county's outstanding collections of foreign panels
are also catalogued.
This series of papers shows that a group of monuments erected by the French Cistercian monks, and here for the first time fully described and illustrated, were the earliest Italian buildings using transitional-Gothic architecture.
Arthur Kingsley Porter here traces the roots of Renaissance sculpture to the smaller decorative sculptures found on the outside of churches and other buildings beginning around the turn of the first millennium A.D.
Carved and decorated stone-work is a rare survival from the period before the Norman Conquest. In Nottinghamshire it survives as large crosses and as small fragments - to be found in churches, in public spaces and in museum collections. This is the first book to provide an authoritative listing, description and illustration of all examples of this type of decorated stone sculpture in Nottinghamshire. Each example is illustrated in a substantial catalogue containing high quality photographs, maps and interpretative drawings. In the introductory chapters the authors explore the geological and historical background of the sculptures and provide an overview of the types of style and ornament. The new information revealed by the systematic study of these major survivals of Anglo-Saxon art and archaeology demonstrates the major contribution that this category of material can make to an obscure and under-investigated period in Midlands history. Nottinghamshire emerges with a distinctive identity in the pre-conquest period, having strong connections both with the Mercian state to its south and with the Northumbrians to the north.
In the first English attempt to address the Syriac homilies of Aphraates, Gavin sets a context for the material by considering the church and the sermons themselves. The topic of how the Jews are treated in the homilies is given special attention.
Medieval Sussex Pottery
Developments in medieval science that elevated sight above the
other senses found religious expression in the Christian emphasis
on miracles, relics, and elaborate structures. In his incisive
survey of Gothic art and architecture, Roland Recht argues that
this preoccupation with vision as a key to religious knowledge
profoundly affected a broad range of late medieval works.
Chretien de Troyes was France's great medieval poet--inventor of the genre of courtly romance and popularizer of the Arthurian legend. The forty-four surviving manuscripts of his work (ten of them illuminated) pose a number of questions about who used these books and in what way. In "Sealed in Parchment," Sandra Hindman scrutinizes both text and images to reveal what the manuscripts can tell us about medieval society and politics.
At Chartres Cathedral, for the first time in medieval art, the
lowest register of stained-glass windows depicts working artisans
and merchants instead of noble and clerical donors. Jane Welch
Williams challenges the prevailing view that pious town tradesmen
donated these windows. In "Bread, Wine, and Money," she uncovers a
deep antagonism between the trades and the cathedral clergy in
Chartres; the windows, she argues, portray not town tradesmen but
trusted individuals that the fearful clergy had taken into the
cloister as their own serfs.
Kurt Weitzmann demonstrates that the postulated miniatures of the handbook that goes under the name of Apollodorus migrated into other texts, of which the commentary of Pseudo-Nonnus--attached to several homilies of Gregory of Nazianzus--and the Cynegetka of Pseudo-Oppian are the most important. Originally published in 1984. The Princeton Legacy Library uses the latest print-on-demand technology to again make available previously out-of-print books from the distinguished backlist of Princeton University Press. These editions preserve the original texts of these important books while presenting them in durable paperback and hardcover editions. The goal of the Princeton Legacy Library is to vastly increase access to the rich scholarly heritage found in the thousands of books published by Princeton University Press since its founding in 1905. |
