York explores the archaeology, art, architecture and cultural
heritage of the city in the late Middle Ages. In the years since
the resurrection of the British Archaeological Association
conference in 1976, the association has met in the city only once
(in 1988), for a conference that celebrated Yorkshire Monasticism.
As a consequence, the secular and vernacular architecture as well
as the architecture, art and imagery of York Minster were excluded
from its scope, something redressed in the meeting that took place
in 2017. As many recent publications have focused on York in the
earlier medieval period, this book shines a much-needed light on
the city in the later medieval ages. Starting with a range of
essays on York Minster by authors directly involved in major
conservation projects undertaken in the last ten years, the book
also includes information on the vernacular architecture and
transport infrastructure of York, as well as the parochial and
material culture of the period. Illuminating the extensive
resources for the study of the late Middle Ages in England's second
capital, this book provides new research on this important city and
will be suitable for researchers in medieval archaeology, art
history, literature and material culture.

At the 25th International Colloquium of the Corpus Vitrearum, which
took place in one of the greatest of all museums, The Hermitage in
St. Petersburg, the researchers of many countries discussed stained
glass collections for the first time. The present conference
transactions, published in the three official languages of the
international Corpus Vitrearum, are dedicated to the reawakening of
interest in ancient stained glass from the late eighteenth century.
The contributions are concerned partly with the creation of
collections and the motives of their collectors, but also with the
odyssey of various panels and groups of windows. Other studies
address wider aspects of the history of collections and the museum
display of stained glass. Anlasslich des 25. Internationalen
Kolloquiums des Corpus Vitrearum, das in einem der groessten und
bedeutendsten Museen der Welt, der Staatlichen Eremitage in Sankt
Petersburg, stattfand, wurden Glasmalereisammlungen erstmals von
einer internationalen Autorengruppe des Corpus Vitrearum breit
diskutiert. Die Beitrage in den drei offiziellen Sprachen des
Corpus Vitrearum behandeln das wiedererwachte Interesse an alter
Glasmalerei. Die Autoren widmen sich der Entstehung bestimmter
Sammlungen, der Motivation der Sammler, oder aber der Odyssee
ausgewahlter Denkmaler sowie sammlungsgeschichtlichen Aspekten bis
hin zu Fragen der musealen Prasentation von Glasmalereien. Lors du
25e Colloque international du Corpus Vitrearum qui a eu lieu a
l'Ermitage de Saint-Petersbourg, un des plus grands et des plus
prestigieux musees, les chercheurs venus de nombreux pays ont
discute pour la premiere fois des collections de vitraux. Les
contributions aux actes du colloque, publiees dans les trois
langues officielles du Corpus Vitrearum international, sont
consacrees au reveil de l'interet pour le vitrail ancien. Les
articles sont consacres a la creation de plusieurs collections et
aux motivations des collectionneurs, ou bien encore a l'odyssee que
des panneaux ou des groupes de vitraux ont vecue. Certaines etudes
traitent de l'histoire des collections, des aspects plus generaux
du collectionnisme ou de la museographie du vitrail.

First publication, with English translation, of the accounts of the
building of St Stephen's Chapel. Begun by Edward I in 1292 and
finished by Edward III, the rebuilding and decoration of St
Stephen's chapel took three reigns and over 60 years to complete
(accommodation for the associated college of secular clergy was
still underconstruction in the 1390s). The chapel stood at the
heart of the palace of Westminster, the pre-eminent centre of
English royal government and ceremonial. Produced by the royal
Exchequer and now in The National Archives, the fabric accounts for
St Stephen's are exceptionally rich, but have not been fully
published until now. This edition comprises over sixty rolls, from
between 1292 and 1396, documenting in meticulous detail a building
of spectacularmagnificence. They are of international importance as
evidence for medieval crafts, especially masonry, carpentry,
painting and glass-painting, recording many hundreds of people,
their organisation and working practices, and their materials and
sources of supply. As primary sources for a major project in the
king's works, the accounts also have a special significance for the
study of English royal patronage and political culture. An
extensive introduction sets out their history, structure and
context; the Latin text is presented with a facing translation,
critical apparatus and indices.
This collection of papers, first delivered at the BAA's annual
conference in 2002, celebrates medieval Rochester, including both
cathedral and castle, an outstanding pair of surviving monuments to
the power of contemporary church and state. The contributions
demonstrate the great interest of these understudied buildings,
their furnishings, and historical and archaeological contexts: from
the rich documentary evidence for the Anglo-Saxon town to the
substantial surviving fabric of the 11th, 12th and 13th centuries.
Shrines, monuments, woodwork and seals are all fully covered, as
well as the medieval monks themselves. There is also a piece on
Archbishop Courtenay's foundation of the nearby collegiate church
at Maidstone, Kent.
