This rich
collection
of original essays is presented as a tribute to a great scholar.
Containing
contributions from leading international medieval art historians,
including
Rosemary Cramp, Michael Camille, T. A. Heslop, C. M. Kauffmann, Nigel
Morgan,
Suzanne Lewis and Gerhardt Schmidt, it is a compendium of some of the
most
interesting and exciting recent research in the field. Ranging from
studies
of the visual arts in Britain in the age of Bede, through the high
medieval
period to explorations of the iconography of Botticelli, New
Offerings,
Ancient Treasures engages deeply with medieval history and thought,
spurning traditional academic boundaries. Covering sculpture,
manuscript
illumination, metalwork, wood carving and painting, the book will
become
an important reference point for all future work in this field.
