Download or read book Illuminating Metalwork written by Joseph Salvatore Ackley and published by Walter de Gruyter GmbH & Co KG. This book was released on 2021-12-20 with total page 740 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The presence of gold, silver, and other metals is a hallmark of decorated manuscripts, the very characteristic that makes them “illuminated.” Medieval artists often used metal pigment and leaf to depict metal objects both real and imagined, such as chalices, crosses, tableware, and even idols; the luminosity of these representations contrasted pointedly with the surrounding paints, enriching the page and dazzling the viewer. To elucidate this key artistic tradition, this volume represents the first in-depth scholarly assessment of the depiction of precious-metal objects in manuscripts and the media used to conjure them. From Paris to the Abbasid caliphate, and from Ethiopia to Bruges, the case studies gathered here forge novel approaches to the materiality and pictoriality of illumination. In exploring the semiotic, material, iconographic, and technical dimensions of these manuscripts, the authors reveal the canny ways in which painters generated metallic presence on the page. Illuminating Metalwork is a landmark contribution to the study of the medieval book and its visual and embodied reception, and is poised to be a staple of research in art history and manuscript studies, accessible to undergraduates and specialists alike.

Download or read book Aldus Manutius and the Development of Greek Script Type in the Fifteenth Century written by Nicolas Barker and published by Fordham Univ Press. This book was released on 1992 with total page 158 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This much-acclaimed work was first published in 1985 in an extremely limited edition of something under 200 copies. The first edition nonetheless sold out rapidly, and the reviewers were virtually universal in their recommendations that a new edition be published at a more accessible price, and thereby satisfy the additional demands on the marketplace. This new edition meets that need. This second edition is a substantially new work. It has been completely revised throughout, in the light both of the author's subsequent research and discoveries and of the reviewers' observations. It contains much additional new matter. The new illustrations reproduce setting copy, in the autograph of Marcus Musurus, of the Address to the Reader in the 1498 Aristophanes

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Aby Sue Margeson A huge finds' report with objects grouped by function or by trade. Everything is here: dress and dress accessories, furnishings and household equipment, door and window furniture and fittings for buildings, tools and debris associated with trades and industry, musical instruments, games and pastimes. Includes wood and glass vessels but not pottery (for that see Eighteen centuries of pottery from Norwich by Sarah Jennings, EAA 13, 1981. Now reduced to only #9.95.). The increasing number of these Medieval finds reports from different parts of the country should lead soon to some regional syntheses. For instance there is not much weaponry in Norwich!
