Iconography of Liturgical Textiles in the Middle Ages [Riggisberger Berichte, 18.]

212 pages : illustrations (chiefly colour), facsimiles ; 31 cm. Papers delivered at a colloquium held at the Abegg-Stiftung in 2007. Whereas aspects of iconography have been reflected in monographic studies on individual pieces, the broader functional context of liturgical textiles and their iconography have so far barely been considered in scholarly publications. The book, presenting the papers delivered during a colloquium in 2007 at the Abegg-Stiftung, provides insights into this topic from various viewpoints.
