This book is the first detailed investigation to focus on the late
medieval use of Tree of Jesse imagery, traditionally a
representation of the genealogical tree of Christ. In northern
Europe, from the mid-fifteenth to the early sixteenth centuries, it
could be found across a wide range of media. Yet, as this book
vividly illustrates, it had evolved beyond a simple genealogy into
something more complex, which could be modified to satisfy specific
religious requirements. It was also able to function on a more
temporal level, reflecting not only a clerical preoccupation with a
sense of communal identity, but a more general interest in
displaying a family's heritage, continuity and/or social status. It
is this dynamic and polyvalent element that makes the subject so
fascinating.
