Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Early Christian Architecture in Ireland You will remember that about two years ago Margaret Freeman, asking our aid for the sufferers in Servia, reminded us of a passage in the "Vision of Piers Ploughman" which, I think, workers in other fields may use. The poet tells us of a certain company journeying on a pilgrimage in search of Truth. Ignorant of the path, they ask for aid and guidance of the ploughman, whose answer is that they must wait till he has "eeried" and sown his half acre e'er he can "wende" with them "and the way teche;" and a veiled lady in the company answers - "This were a long lettyng! ... What sholde we wommen Wercke the while?" This question, asked some five hundred years ago by one who had the strength to wait, now stirs in the hearts of many of us women in the present day, and it may be well for us to think over the answer that was given. These "lovely ladies with their long fingers" were to work their "churches to honour," while also to take heed how the needy and the naked do lie, and to cast them clothes. "For so commaundeth Truthe," and so "for the Lordes love of Hevene" doth the woman help man to work "wightliche." With this humble yet lofty aim of helpfulness we women need not fear stepping outside our sphere. Many and various are the ways by which we may help, not only in the honouring of our Church, but in the giving of food and raiment.

Download or read book Churches in Early Medieval Ireland written by Tomás Ó Carragáin and published by Paul Mellon Centre for Studies in British Art. This book was released on 2010 with total page 414 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is the first book devoted to churches in Ireland dating from the arrival of Christianity in the fifth century to the early stages of the Romanesque around 1100, including those built to house treasures of the golden age of Irish art, such as the Book of Kells and the Ardagh chalice. � Carrag�in's comprehensive survey of the surviving examples forms the basis for a far-reaching analysis of why these buildings looked as they did, and what they meant in the context of early Irish society. � Carrag�in also identifies a clear political and ideological context for the first Romanesque churches in Ireland and shows that, to a considerable extent, the Irish Romanesque represents the perpetuation of a long-established architectural tradition.

Download or read book Studies in Early Christian and Medieval Irish Art Manuscript illumination written by Françoise Henry and published by Pindar Press. This book was released on 1983 with total page 368 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Over the past fifty years, Francoise Henry has been the leading authority on the history of early Irish art. A pupil of Henri Focillon, she united two traditions of scholarship, one French and one Irish, and her understanding of the European context within which the art of early Christian Ireland developed has had a profound influence on subsequent research. These three volumes bring together the articles that Dr. Henry published on Irish art and its European links. The first volume is concerned with enamel and metalwork, a field in which the author specialized from the beginning. Emailleurs d'Occident looks at Western enamels, among which the Irish examples figure prominently, and the development of Irish enamelling is treated separately in the following study. Metalwork is also featured, in the form of a number of Dr. Henry's important studies on hanging-bowls, croziers, and chalices. The second volume deals with Irish manuscript illumination. Since a number of the articles reprinted here were published in collaboration with Genevieve Marsh-Micheli, this volume, as Francoise Henry wished, is published as a joint work, and includes an independent article by Mrs. Marsh-Micheli on the Irish manuscripts of St. Gall and Reichenau. The manuscripts dealt with here cover the entire span of Christian Celtic art in Ireland, from the earliest works of the seventh and eighth centuries to the later manuscripts of the period between the Norman Conquest and the final collapse of Gaelic civilisation in Ireland in the late sixteenth century. There are joint studies of Irish manuscripts in Continental and English collections, and a valuable review by Francoise Henry of the facsimile edition of the Book of Lindisfarne. The third volume of Francoise Henry's Studies features her papers on early Christian architecture and sculpture in Ireland. They include one of the author's earliest contributions, Les origines de l'iconographie irlandaise, and the subject of Irish sculpture, particularly the high crosses and cross-slabs, remained one of Francoise Henry's main interests. Her list of dated inscriptions on early Irish graveslabs helps to provide a chronology for this type of monument that is of unique value. The author's studies of the monastic sites represent a particularly valuable contribution to the archaeology of early Christian Ireland. This comprises the results of nearly fifty years of field-work in some of the more inaccessible areas of Ireland. Two of the papers reprinted here carry the study of Irish sculpture into the post-Norman period, with notes on the carved decoration of the Irish Cistercian monasteries, and a figure in Lismore Cathedral.
