A comprehensive treatise on one the least studied and most fragile of medieval arts. Marks (medieval stained glass, U. of York, England) surveys some of the existing pieces, both famous and little-known; explores the relation to painting, architecture, and other arts; how and why they were made; the iconography; the organization of the workshops; prices; and the role of the patron. He also advocates more preservation efforts. Includes 30 color plates and 200 monochrome photographs. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)Book Details
