The extraordinary array of images included in this volume reveals
the full and rich history of the Middle Ages. Exploring material
objects from the European, Byzantine and Islamic worlds, the book
casts a new light on the cultures that formed them, each culture
illuminated by its treasures. The objects are divided among four
topics: The Holy and the Faithful; The Sinful and the Spectral;
Daily Life and Its Fictions, and Death and Its Aftermath. Each
section is organized chronologically, and every object is
accompanied by a penetrating essay that focuses on its visual and
cultural significance within the wider context in which the object
was made and used. Spot maps add yet another way to visualize and
consider the significance of the objects and the history that they
reveal. Lavishly illustrated, this is an appealing and original
guide to the cultural history of the Middle Ages.
