商品簡介
The 23 papers of this handsome oversized volume (8.5x11.25"), many of them written by senior scholars in the field, constitute the proceedings of the Fifth International Conference on Insular Art, held in August 2005 at Trinity College Dublin, Ireland. Moss (Trinity College Dublin) contributes a thought-provoking essay on the larger artistic and religious contexts for Romanesque sculpture in Ireland. Other topics include an essay by Lawrence Nees (U. of Delaware) on two pieces from Sutton Hoo that makes a strong case for manuscript models of influence, and a long and satisfying piece by Carol Neuman de Vegvar (Ohio Wesleyan U.) on the references to Jerusalem in the columns used to decorate canon tables. The volume is well illustrated with b&w and a series of color plates, all of excellent quality. Distributed in the US by ISBS. Annotation c2007 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
