De Re Metallica brings together a wide variety of perspectives on
metal use in the Middle Ages, a topic that has received less
systematic scholarly attention than it deserves, given its central
importance for medieval culture. Because of its strength, beauty,
and prestige, metal figured prominently in many medieval contexts,
from the military and utilitarian to the architectural and
liturgical. Metal was a crucial ingredient in weapons and
waterpipes, rose windows and reliquaries, coinage and jewelry. The
23 essays presented here, from an international team of scholars,
explore the production and use of such objects, from the early
Middle Ages to the sixteenth century, and from the British Isles,
Iceland, and Scandinavia, to France, Germany, Spain and Italy. This
thematic, chronological, and geographical scope will make this
volume into a valuable resource for historians of art, technology,
and culture.
