Medieval Clothing and Textiles
The best new research on medieval clothing and textiles, drawing from a range of disciplines and with a special focus on reconstruction.
Enamels, Crowns, Relics and Icons
This volume gathers together 17 articles published over the last 30 years, together with one appearing here for the first time. Their focus is primarily on enamel, the brilliant and colourful art form for which the Byzantines were famous throughout the medieval world, but sculpture and glyptics also figure. The author examines not only works which have retained the form in which they were first created, but others which have had their original Byzantine elements re-used, often by artists in the West. While most of the works featured here have been known to scholars before, one was unknown prior to its first publication in 2006.
The Colourful Past
An overview of well-known dyestuffs used for dyeing textiles, and the relation between dyestuffs and organic pigments in paintings and their historical relevance.
Verborgen, unsichtbar, unlesbar – zur Problematik restringierter Schriftpräsenz
Aus neuzeitlicher Perspektive ist die Präsenz von Schrift an deren Sichtbarkeit und Lesbarkeit gekoppelt. Ist diese Vorannahme schon an sich fragwürdig, so ist sie für Schriftpraktiken vormoderner Zeiten, bei denen gerade das Verbergen und Verhüllen eine große Rolle spielten, kaum haltbar. Das Ziel des Bandes ist es, die Kategorie der „restringierten Schriftpräsenz“ aus interdisziplinärer und transkultureller Perspektive kritisch zu hinterfragen.
The Secret Keeper
Withdrawing from a family party to the solitude of her tree house, 16-year-old Laurel Nicolson witnesses a shocking murder that throughout a subsequent half century shapes her beliefs, her acting career and the lives of three strangers from vastly different cultures. By the best-selling author of The Distant Hours. Reprint. 200,000 first printing.
Iconography of Liturgical Textiles in the Middle Ages
Whereas aspects of iconography have been reflected in monographic studies on individual pieces, the broader functional context of liturgical textiles and their iconography have so far barely been considered in scholarly publications. The book, presenting the papers delivered during a colloquium in 2007 at the Abegg-Stiftung, provides insights into this topic from various viewpoints.
