{"product_id":"medieval-ivory-carvings-paul-williamson-9781851776122","title":"Medieval Ivory Carvings: Early Christian to Romanesque","description":"This authoritative, accessible survey is the first since 1927 devoted entirely to ivories of the Middle Ages. Color photographs display the V\u0026amp;A's significant collection, which is especially strong in Carolingian, Anglo-Saxon, and English Romanesque examples. Following an essay on the V\u0026amp;A's collecting and study of these masterpieces, the book features major works from every era of the period: the Symmachi Panel from late antiquity; the front cover of the Lorsch Gospels from the Carolingian era; the Ottonian Basilewsky Situla; the Veroli Casket from 10th-century Byzantium; the St Nicholas Crozier; the enigmatic whalebone carving of the Adoration of the Magi from the Romanesque 12th century; and numerous others. Each entry provides a full physical and scholarly discussion, synthesizing the exist-ing literature and incorporating new research. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Praise for MEDIEVAL IVORY CARVINGS: \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \"A summation of a lifetime's involvement with the study of medieval ivories and a triumph of scholarship - one of the defining publications in the field.\" \u003ci\u003eThe Art Newspaper\u003c\/i\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \"The end result is the nearest thing to perfection attained in any catalogue of ivories today.\"\u003cbr\u003e \u003ci\u003eWest 86th: A Journal of Decorative Arts, Design History, and Material Culture (Bard Graduate Center)\u003c\/i\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \"The volume is, in sum, not simply a catalogue of ivories but a fundamental contribution to the history of medieval art.\" \u003ci\u003eThe Burlington Magazine\u003c\/i\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \"A superlative achievement, setting a high standard for all future catalogues and making an immense contribution to scholarship.\" \u003ci\u003eSpeculum: Journal of Medieval Studies\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Paul Williamson\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1851776125\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781851776122\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Victoria \u0026amp; Albert Museum\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/01\/2010\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 32\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 6.20lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 11.60h x 10.20w x 1.70d","brand":"Paul Williamson","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44125487235327,"sku":"9781851776122","price":150.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_dcfa0b8d-9b33-4d1f-8f7c-93413a57f256.jpg?v=1687442910","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/medieval-ivory-carvings-paul-williamson-9781851776122","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
