A R T THE BERTHOLD SACRAMENTARY
CHIRUGIA
Volume I
Volume I
There are only very few books which stand out from the relatively large medieval production of prime quality manuscripts, one of them is the Berthold Sacramentary. It was produced upon the request of Abbot Berthold and surpasses all comparable books of the late Romanesque period in both formal and material aspects. The Berthold Sacramentary is one of the most important and beautiful manuscripts from the European Middle Ages during the transition from the Romanesque period to the Gothic period. It contains 21 full-page and 5 half-page miniatures, block pictures, decorated pages with initials and historicized and ornamented initials, which use a dramatic and striking composition to express different scenes and in which one also finds the free interpretation of well-known themes. All of these features, along with the color modelling used, make it one of the most unique examples of Middle Age book illumination.
By Abu’L Qasim Halaf Ibn Abbas Al-Zahraui Chirugia
Glanzlichter of Book Art 22/1
The textbook of surgery written by the Arab physician Abu al-Qasim Khalaf Ibn Abbas az-Zahrawi stood for nearly 500 years as the leading handbook in this field of medicine. It constitutes the oldest and also most important link between Greek classical and late classical medicine and the European medicine of the high Middle Ages. His writings were widely acknowledged and preferred even to the teachings of the Greek medical authority Galen. In all, 68 miniatures form the decorative apparatus of this bibliophile manuscript, illustrating individual methods of medical treatment and instruments in all their details. Besides these miniatures, which might have been derived from Arab models, numerous gilded initials (in total 227) bear testimony to the flawless quality and great significance of the manuscript, both in medical history and in the history of art. Chirurgia is composed of three books and decorated with numerous miniatures to illustrate diverse methods of medical treatment.

PSAUTIER DES SAINT LOUIS
ANNA FREEMAN BENTLEY: MOBILITY AND GRANDEUR
By Marcel Thomas & Patricia Stirnemann The Psautier des Saint Louis manuscript, which is held in the National Library in Paris, holds an outstanding place even amongst an immensely rich array of codices. Manufactured for one of the most important rulers of the Middle Ages, whose reign in France was known as the Golden Age, the manuscript almost approaches the status of a relic. Saint Louis IX embodied the ideal Christian ruler, whose deepest religious beliefs determined his behavior as a man and a king. From a number of different sources, we know that the king dedicated himself to daily religious readings. The assumption that between the years 1253 and 1270, he prayed directly out of this Psautier, which was both artfully created and written for him, is well justified. The Latin text of psalms is preceded by a magnificent cycle of pictures, with 78 full-page miniatures from the Old Testament and represents the highpoint of Gothic French Book Art.

PAUL SIMONON – WOT NO BIKE By Tim Marlow & David Lancaster ‘Wot No Bike’ is a new limited edition publication of the work of Paul Simonon (b.1955, London). Growing up in London in the 1960s and 70s he found himself part of the community of Bikers and Rockers that emerged from the shadow of post-war austerity and which lit the touch paper for the punk revolution within which Simonon came to prominence as bassist with the legendary punk band The Clash. Since the band split in the mid 1980s, Simonon has divided his time between music and art projects. With Simonon’s independentminded, outsider spirit, ‘Wot No Bike’ features twenty-three new and recent paintings depicting the stock-in-trade of his life as a Biker – poised between still life and autobiography. Inspired by modernist and realist painting of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries – particularly the social realism that came to define art, film, and popular culture in Britain in the 1950s and 60s – Simonon’s work is a personal exploration of British subculture and counterculture of the post-war decades. Featuring an introduction by Biker historian David Lancaster and an interview by art historian, curator, and broadcaster Tim Marlow, ‘Wot No Bike’ has been produced as a cloth-bound hardback limited edition publication. $50.00, 9781910221020, Hardback, 23 col illus, 72 pages, January 2015, NYP, Anomie Publishing

RACHEL KNEEBONE: REGARDING RODIN
By Mamuka Bliadze, Jane Neal & Dr. Anthony Fry MBBS, MPhil, MRCPsych., DPM
By Ali Smith & Catherine Morris Rachel Kneebone (born 1973, Oxfordshire) is a London-based artist internationally renowned for her porcelain sculptures that intricately fuse human, natural, and abstract forms in ways that are simultaneously serene and cacophonous, beautiful yet grotesque, otherworldly yet full of humanity. Launched in anticipation of ‘399 Days’, Kneebone’s latest presentation at White Cube, London, in summer 2014, this publication features works of art and installation documentation from the artist’s acclaimed solo exhibition at Brooklyn Museum in 2012, which included eight of the artist’s works in dialogue with fifteen bronze sculptures by Auguste Rodin that she selected from the museum’s collection. Featuring a foreword by Catherine Morris and a text by Ali Smith, this publication is lavishly illustrated by photographs of the works by Stephen White and installation photography by Jon Lowe.
The paintings and etchings of Robert Fry (b. 1980, London) confront viewers with an engaging exploration of the human form that asks profound questions about people’s physical presence in the universe and the psychological, emotional, and spiritual engagement we have with the world through our bodies. This beautifully produced publication features around sixty selected works by the artist over the course of more than fifteen years, from very early works to 2013. This, the first monograph on the work of Robert Fry, is co-published by Galerie Kornfeld, Berlin, and Anomie Publishing, UK. $45.00, 9780957693647, Hardback, 60 pages col & b/w reproductions, 88 pages, Now Available, Anomie Publishing

By means of an elegant and seductive yet forthright use of paint, Walker makes paintings that explore ideas of gender in relation to architecture. In Every Dream Home – the first monograph of Walker’s work – features around fifty key paintings, oil sketches, and ink drawings alongside an introductory text by art historian, critic, and curator Marco Livingstone, an essay by independent critic and curator Jane Neal, and an interview with the artist by editor and curator Matt Price. $30.00, 9780957693609, Hardback, 50 col & b/w images, 80 pages, Now Available, Anomie Publishing
KAMROOZ ARAM PALIMPSEST: UNSTABLE PAINTINGS FOR ANXIOUS INTERIORS By Kamrooz Aram, Eva Diaz, Media Farzin & Murtaza Vall This monograph on Iranian-born, Brooklyn-based painter Kamrooz Aram presents the Palimpsest series, which was in part inspired by graffiti on the streets of New York, and its constant painting-over by the authorities, only for it to become covered again in graffiti. The ongoing cycle of painting, covering-up and repainting in the urban environment connects with Aram’s long-standing fascination with modernism and the legacies of Abstract painting. The concept of the palimpsest in relation to Aram’s practice is explored further in the publication. A photo essay and text by the artist further explore notions of the palimpsest and covering-up. $45.00, 978095769366, Hardback, 50 col & b/w illus, 80 pages, Now Available, Anomie Publishing
MEEKYOUNG SHIN By Jonathan Watkins, Kyung An, Ben Tufnell & Jade Keunhye Lim London and Seoul-based Korean artist Meekyoung Shin (b.1967) is internationally renowned for her sculptures that probe the mis- and retranslations that often emerge when objects of distinct cultural and historical specificity are dislocated from their original context. Made from soap, her works replicate artifacts and canonical works of art, from Asian porcelain vases to Greek and Roman sculptures. This monograph, beautifully illustrated with over fifty color and black and white images, was published in collaboration with the Korean Cultural Centre UK, London, on the occasion of ‘Unfixed: A solo exhibition by Meekyoung Shin’, held at the KCC from 12 November 2013 to 18 January 2014, curated by Jonathan Watkins. $30.00, 9780957693654, Paperback, 50 col & b/w illus, 108 pages, Now Available, Anomie Publishing

Art of Li Keran
Art of Pan Tianshou
By Lu Zhangshen
By Lu Zhangshen
The ancient art of Chinese painting has many good traditions, such as expressive use of lines, the adept use of ink, and majestic composition. Vast expanses of landscapes can be represented in a singe painting scroll, which is rare in the paintings of other countries. Chinese painting is unique in reflecting the greatness and the extraordinariness of the Chinese nation. The realm reflected in Chinese paintings is very vast. Chinese painting represents no only what the artist sees, but also what he knows and thinks. It embodies great imaginative power. Some say my paintings are based on the Impressionist School of Chinese painting. I do not agree and believe it is on mixture of my Western study but also the splendid Chinese cultural system and unique forms of expression.
Pan Tianshou 1897-1971, inheriting the traditional Chinese painting, was a socialist painter. It had been his goal and spiritual fountain to revitalise national spirit by carrying forward the national art. Compared to his predecessors, he showed more presence in the forefront of the cultural clashes and social reform, voicing his great support for Chinese painting. $95.00, 9781921816055, Paperback, 230 pages, Now Available, ATF Asia

THE LITTLE GIRL’S LITTLE BOOK OF ART By Kathryn Dixon Art appreciation can never start too early in a child’s life. The art and artists that are included in this little book have been chosen to appeal to girls aged three to ten years. The text is intended to engage a little girl’s curiosity and encourage her imagination whether the book is read to her or she reads it alone. Choosing only thirty artists and only three paintings of each is by definition a very selective process. As a result, many noteworthy artists have been excluded. Likewise, the artist’s paintings presented in this book may not be the artist’s most important works but instead they were selected with the goal of instilling in readers a desire to know more about art and the creative process and to be attracted to and identify with the colors, subjects, and scenes. The Little Girl’s Little Book of Art will grow with your little girl, suggesting new insights and ideas as the years go by. Recipient of a five star review from the Readers’ Favorite website. Kathryn Dixon’s art history book, The Little Girl’s Little Book of Art, may be small compared to many art history tomes, but it’s chock filled with marvelous artwork. Dixon is gifted with an appreciation of, and enthusiasm for, art which she shares with her readers...The Little Girl’s Little Book of Art is a beautiful, bold and big work that’s bound to get young readers inspired, and it’s highly recommended. —Reviewed by Jack Magnus for Readers’ Favorite $24.95, 9781627320139, Hardback, full col throughout, 128 pages, Now Available, Bellagio Press

A R T GERMANY DIVIDED
ICE AGE ART
Baselitz and his generation
Arrival of the Modern Mind
By John-Paul Stondard
By Jill Cook
Published to accompany a significant exhibition at the British Museum, Germany Divided: Baselitz and his generation showcases a selection of key works from six artists who re-defined art in Germany in the second half of the twentieth century; Georg Baselitz, Marcus Lüpertz, Blinky Palermo, A.R. Penck, Sigmar Polke and Gerhard Richter. The majority of the works are published here for the first time. Indepth biographical essays on each artist show how the division of Germany into separate states affected their work; and the importance of the experience of migration from East to West. Germany Divided explores the work of these artists in the broader historical context of Germany and Europe in the 1960s and 1970s, and shows how these debates placed crucial emphasis on the creation and display of art.
This is a thought-provoking exploration of the masterpieces of sculpture, drawing and decoration of the last Ice Age. Produced between 40,000 and 10,000 years ago, this is some of the oldest known figurative art in the world. Looking at these art works provides a fascinating insight into the earliest modern minds and their capacity to express ideas symbolically through art. Over 100 objects are featured, including small but exquisite sculptures made from mammoth ivory, engraved drawings, ceramic models, decorated objects and jewellery from the age of the great painted caves. The author examines them in a new light, as works of aesthetic – not solely archaeological – interest, and as such forming part of an unbroken continuum of human creativity.

MING
A ROTHSCHILD RENAISSANCE
art, people and places
The Waddesdon Bequest
By Jessica Harrison-Hall
By Dora Thornton
The Ming dynasty (1368–1644) is regarded as China’s ‘golden age’. Through the themes of people and places and a wealth of objects, this beautifully illustrated little book provides a concise and fascinating introduction to the Ming period. The author looks at the main production centres, the extensive distribution networks, and the roles of craftsmen, salesmen and customers. As so much of our knowledge of Ming China derives from archaeology, tombs of royals and non-royals are featured and major finds from them illustrated. Religious sites – monasteries, temples and mosques – are also explored; rare surviving examples of architecture from the Ming period. The book concludes with an introduction to some of the imagined spaces of the Ming, including realms for various gods.
This book, published to accompany a new gallery opening devoted to the Waddesdon Bequest in the British Museum, will unlock the history and romance of this glorious collection through its exploration of some of its greatest treasures and the stories they tell. As a major Jewish banking family, the Rothschilds were the greatest collectors of the nineteenth century, seeking not only the finest craftsmanship in their treasures, but also demonstrating great discernment and a keen sense of historical importance in selecting them.

CATTLE History, Myth, Art By Catherine Johns
Cats were first domesticated – or, more likely, noticed a warm fireside and chose to domesticate themselves – many thousands of years ago. Over the centuries they have performed a useful role as pest controllers, but much more as friends and companions of humans. This delightful illustrated anthology includes a selection of the many poems, anecdotes and quotations about cats, which have been written over the centuries.
This book explores the relationship between people and cattle through the ages via works of art and artifacts drawn from the rich collection of the British Museum. The author compares and contrasts images from around the world – Palaeolithic carvings to Ancient Egyptian figures, Greek sculpture to English porcelain, drawings by Dürer and Goya to Indian paintings and Japanese prints – to create a superbly illustrated celebration of these majestic beasts.

MODERN CHINESE INK PAINTINGS
MASTERPIECES
By Clarissa Von Spee
This beautiful volume presents a history of Europe and the Mediterranean from the end of the Roman Empire to the twelfth century. Richly illustrated, this book showcases some of the collections’ most outstanding and internationally renowned artifacts. Discussion of each object provides a fascinating insight into its makers and owners as well as the world in which it was created. Drawn from all the major cultures of the period and covering an extensive geographical and chronological sweep, this publication celebrates the artistic accomplishment of objects made from a varied and attractive array of materials such as gold, silver, precious stones, ivory, glass, ceramics and textiles.
The author explores the innovative contributions of individual masters whose artistic work has helped shape the image of modern China, the importance of regional artistic centres, and how the works reflect the times in which they were created (including important events and political climate). With reference to artistic exchanges between Picasso and Zhang Daqian, the relationship between modern Chinese painting and the modern Western art scene is also highlighted in this informative and elegant introduction to the modern world of Chinese ink painting. $29.95, 9780714124704, Paperback, 100 illus, 128 pages, NYP, British Museum Press

LEONARDO’S ANATOMY: “DRAW AND DESCRIBE” By Paola Salvi In this volume, centred on the contexts and methods of visualization, Paola Salvi looks at the theory and practice of the visual arts as the foundation of Leonardo’s anatomical drawings. This volume is not only a reinterpretation and a more conscious placement of the anatomical work of Leonardo in the context of the knowledge of the time, but is also the basis of a new historical framework for artistic anatomy and, above all, for the anatomical iconography which finds models of reconstruction which have come into their own right, in the works of Leonardo. $60.00 9788897644248, Paperback, b/w & col images, 160 pages, December 2015, NYP, CB Edizioni, English edition $60.00, 9788897644194, Paperback, b/w & col images, 160 pages, NYP, CB Edizioni, Italian edition

A R T MEDIAZIONE, MAGIA, DESIDERIO IN LEONARDO E NEL RINASCIMENTO By Giuseppe Fornari Leonardo’s figure, man, artist and scientist, has been often misunderstood and trivialized over the centuries. Giuseppe Fornari tries to capture the real Leonardo, shedding light on the network of relationships and sympathetic influences cosmic and spititual, to which we give the limiting name of “magic” that Leonardo reforms in its idea of a universal painting, capable of restoring to the observer the ontological reality of what is depicted through a network of particle emanations that governs the artist through his scientific and rational rules. $116.00, 9788897644163, Paperback, b/w & col images, 628 pages, Now Available, CB Edizioni, Italian text

LOOKING AT PAINTING IN FLORENCE 13TH–16TH CENTURIES A Learner’s Handbook
MICHELANGELO AND PAINTING
By Richard Peterson
By Francesca Pellegrino
There’s been a time when, during their Grand Tour, learned amateurs coming from distant countries, after contemplating the masterpieces of the Florentine galleries, conveyed in their letters to relatives and friends outmost admiration, but also relevant and insightful remarks. This time seems to live again in the work of Richard Peterson, a cultivated American “amateur”, who with devotion, but also with objectivity and competence, introduces us to the wonders of Medieval and Renaissance art in a volume, rich in beautiful pictures in color, which is more of a guide, a travel companion which to appeal to under the emotional impact of masterpieces of superhuman beauty, an enjoyable antidote to Stendhal’s syndrome that, exorcised our vertigo in front of immortal works, illustrates in plain, familiar language their meaning, novelty, magnificence. We follow Richard Peterson, reading his descriptions interspersed with illuminating historical sketches, in Santa Croce, the Brancacci Chapel at the Carmine, the Uffizi, Santa Maria Novella and San Marco, in the Accademia and along other great Florentine artistic repositories. This book imparts the skills that allow the reader to answer the question “Why does this painting matter?” Devoted solely to the entire course of Florentine painting, from the Middle Ages through the Renaissance, this richly illustrated handbook is intended to bridge the gap between the guidebook and the serious academic text. The book is organized chronologically around the churches and cloisters, the principal museums and palaces that house the city’s art. It is dedicated to all those who, loving Art, don’t feel possessing tools to penetrate its mystery.
It is not easy to understand Michelangelo’s painting, an artist who has created masterpieces like the Doni Tondo which is now in the Bargello Museum in Florence, the decoration of a part of the Sistine Chapel: the ceiling between 1508 and 1512, or The Last Judgement, three decades later (1534-1541). These works of art and the Cappella Paolina (Pauline Chapel) are the paintings expounded by Francesca Pellegrino who guides the reader, step by step, among the works of art of Michelangelo Buonarroti.

La raccolta di Carlo Palli a Prato
Le cortesie, le audaci imprese io canto/The courtesies, the daring feats I sing
By Lucilla Sacca
Edited by Anita Valentini
Carlo Palli’s collection in Prato includes over fifteen thousands works and it is accompanied by a rich archive. The volume describes and studies many of these masterpieces, retracing, thanks to the contribution of Cecilia Barbieri, the life of the collector and the story of his house-museum.
Born in Florence in 1943, Paolo Staccioli has risen to fame on the international art scene thanks, in particular, to the beauty and originality of the ceramic work with its strong metallic effect that has been shown in one-man exhibitions in a number of different cities and countries, from Paris to New York and from Italy to China. The exhibition hosted in the Palazzo Medici Riccardi and in the Exhibition Hall of the Officina Profumo Farmaceutica di Santa Maria Novella aims to provide the visitor with a retrospective view of his artistic output over the past fifteen years while simultaneously displaying some of his latest work, here on public view for the very first time.
Made for an exhibition held in Rome at the “Galleria del Laocoonte” from April to July, 2014, this volume reproduces approximately fifty works of one of the most original Italian artists active between the two wars. Drawings, gouaches, watercolors, oil on cardboard, sketches of architectonic and decorative projects are evidence of a constant work that touches all the chords of style and creativity.

RICHARD AVEDON
Geist und Glanz der Dresdner Gemäldegalerie
Wandbilder und Porträts
Edited by Roger Diederen & Maaz
Edited by Armin Zweite
One hundred works of art reveal the many facets of Dresden’s legendarily rich Gemäldegalerie during the Baroque and Enlightenment periods. Seven chapters revolve around aspects relating to the creation and presentation, as well as the thematic focus of the remarkably complex collection of selected masterpieces by famous artists: Titian, Velázquez, van Dyck, Rembrandt, Watteau, Canaletto, Mengs, and Graff.
Everybody knows Richard Avedon (1923-2004) as an illustrious fashion photographer. And yet he always simultaneously considered himself to be an independent, enlightened artist who was passionately committed to portrait photography. Beyond the world of fashion Avedon created an oeuvre of epochal standing, which captures two subjects sensitively and revealingly: America’s elite and its opposite.

THE ART OF ANA CLAVEL
AT HOME IN THE WORLD
Ghosts, Urinals, Dolls, Shadows and Outlaw Desires
A Study in Psychoanalysis, Religion, and Art
By Jane Elizabeth Lavery
The emotional separation of boys from their mothers in early childhood enables them to connect with their fathers and their fathers’ world. But this separation also produces a melancholic reaction of sadness and sense of loss. Realizing that they cannot return to their original maternal environment, men, whether knowingly or not, embark on a lifelong search for a sense of being at home in the world. ‘At Home in the World’ focuses on works of art as a means to explore the formation and continuing expression of men’s melancholy selves and their religious sensibilities.
By Donald Capps
This sumptuously illustrated book offers new ways of looking at art in Jewish antiquity. Leading experts skilfully explore different functions of images in relation to their prohibition by the Second of the Ten Commandments. Readers will encounter a rich collection of objects and texts analysed in different contexts, from Solomon’s Temple to late antiquity. The imageless God of monotheistic Judaism combated the polytheistic cults of Israel’s neighbours with the use of symbols. Antique Jewish art exercised a profound influence on medieval Islam and even on the modern Western visual world. This book is aimed at both the scholarly world and all readers interested in religion and art.
Ana Clavel is a remarkable contemporary Mexican writer whose literary and multimedia oeuvre is marked by its queerness. The queer is evinced in the manner in which she disturbs conceptions of the normal not only by representing outlaw sexualities and dark desires but also by incorporating into her fictive and multimedia worlds that which is at odds with normalcy. By fore-grounding the queer heterogeneous narrative themes, techniques and multimedia dimension of Clavel’s oeuvre, the aim of this monograph is to attest to her particular contribution to Hispanic letters, which arguably is as significant as that of more established Spanish American boom femenino women writers.

Leeds College of Art (1963-1973)
Genocide and Visual Culture at the New Millennium
By James Charnley
Edited by Alex Bangert, Robert S. C. Gordon & Libby Saxton
Focusing on Leeds College of Art the book enables the reader to experience the surprising creativity and excess of the most avant-garde art school of the sixties and the unforeseen consequences of this in art and art education today. This is the first full account of the Leeds experiment in art education and demonstrates that much contemporary art is merely a pale imitation of the work produced there at the end of the sixties. The reader can share the experience of the tutors and students who were there as well as contemporary photographs, which describe a pivotal moment in art education history. $50.00, 9780718893477, Paperback, 30 b/w illus, 30 pages, December 2014, NYP, Lutterworth Press
Recent representations of the Holocaust have increasingly required us to think beyond rigid demarcations of nation and history, medium and genre. This book examines transnational constellations in Holocaust cinema and television in Europe, disclosing instances of border crossing and boundary-troubling at levels of production, distribution and reception. It highlights intersections between film genres, through intertextuality and pastiche, and the deployment of audiovisual Holocaust memory and testimony. Drawing on a wide variety of different media – from cinema and television to installation art and the Internet – and on the most recent scholarship on responses to the Holocaust, the volume aims to update our understanding of how visual culture looks at the Holocaust and genocide today.

MATTIA PRETI
Beyond the Self-Portrait
Faith and Humanity
By Sandro Debono & Giuseppe Valentino
By Sandro Debono & Giuseppe Valentino
This book proposes new methodologies for the study of Mattia Preti. The researched essays look at Preti from different perspectives. Whilst the foreword serves the purpose of an introductory summary; the authors deliberately chose to probe Preti’s multifaceted personality through a very restricted group of paintings, four in all, which are believed to stand for Preti’s views and opinion about knighthood and art. Moreover, his two self-portraits (San Domenico, Taverna; Uffizi, Florence) describe identity through physiognomy. The St John the Baptist Wearing the Red tabard of the Order of St John National Museum of Fine Arts, Heritage Malta) and the altar painting of St Luke (Franciscan Conventuals, Valletta) go beyond.
2013 marks the 400th anniversary of the birth of Mattia Preti. This important occasion was marked by an exhibition organized by Heritage Malta and the Comune of Taverna, where Mattia Preti was born. The exhibition was the final stage of a three year process during which the works of Preti have been studied and revisited. The exhibition together with the catalog was the culmination of this journey. This catalog includes 9 papers by leading art scholars and historians, some of whom are publishing for the first time their findings after the recent studies of Pretti’s paintings. The catalogue also includes entries of the 49 art-pieces and artifacts forming part of this unique exhibition. Much passion and commitment has gone into the making of this project.

More importantly, this book seeks to redress the virtual obscurity and misunderstanding that loom unjustly over his large corpus of works. $55.00, 9789993274445, Hardback, 180, 144 pages, Now Available, Midsea Books

ART, ARTISANS AND APPRENTICES Apprentice Painters & Sculptors in the Early Modern British Tradition By James Ayres Before the foundation of academies of art in London in 1768 and Philadelphia in 1805, most individuals who were to emerge as artists trained in workshops of varying degrees of relevance. Central to the theme of this book is the notion that, for those who were to become either painters or sculptor, a training in a trade met their practical needs. This ‘training’ was of an altogether different nature to an ‘education’ in an art school. In the past, prospective artists were offered, by means of apprenticeships, an empirical rather than a theoretical understanding of their ultimate vocation. James Ayres provides a lively account of the inter-relationship between art and trade in the late seventeenth to early nineteenth centuries, in both Britain and North America. He demonstrates with numerous, illustrated examples, the many cross-overs in the ‘art and mystery’ of artistic training, and, to modern eyes, the sometimes incongruous relationships between the various trades that contributed to the blossoming of many artistic careers, including some of the most illustrious names of the ‘long’ eighteenth century. $60.00, 9781782977421, Hardback, 136 b/w & col illus, 536 pages, Now Available, Oxbow Books

The self-portrait of Baccio Bandinelli in the Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum, Boston, shows the sculptor pointing not to a work of marble or bronze, but to a drawing. Bandinelli was particularly proud of his skills as a draftsman, and he was prolific in his production of works on paper. This set him apart from contemporaries in his profession; many Renaissance sculptors left us no drawings at all. Accompanying an exhibition at the Gardner Museum, this publication will put Bandinelli’s portrait in context by looking at the practice of drawing by sculptors from the Renaissance to the Baroque in Central Italy. $60.00, 9781907372704, Paperback, 100 col illus, 256 pages, November 2014, NYP, Paul Holberton Publishing
THE YOUNG DURER
BROOKS’S 1764–2014
Drawing the Figure
The Story of a Whig Club
By Stephanie Buck, Stephanie Porras, David Freedberg & Michael Roth
Edited by Charles Sebag-Montefiore & Joe Mordaunt Crook
Accompanying a landmark exhibition at the Courtauld Gallery, this book examines the remarkable drawings made by Durer as a young man from 1490 to 1495, especially those made during his journeyman years, or Wanderjahre – considered the final part of a craftsman’s training – and a second shorter trip which immediately followed and seems to have brought the artist to Italy. These trips form the framework for the book, which focuses on the young artist’s figure studies and has at its heart the Courtauld Gallery’s double-sided drawing of a Wise Virgin and Two studies of the artist’s left leg.
One of the many aspects of London that never failed to attract comment from foreign visitors in the late 18th and early 19th century was the Clubland that sprouted along Pall Mall and St James’s. Paris and Vienna had nothing like it. From its foundation in 1764, Brooks’s was accepted as one of the most important manifestations of this new form of London living. To celebrate Brooks’s 250th anniversary, this beautiful commemorative volume looks afresh at some historical aspects and the architecture of the club, and presents much original research, including essays on the club’s archives – among the most complete in Clubland – and an illustrated catalogue by John Ingamells of the important art collection.

GAINSBOROUGH’S COTTAGE DOORS: AN INSIGHT INTO THE ARTIST’S LAST DECADE
EGON SCHIELE
ANDERS ZORN
The Radical Nude
A European Artist Seduces America
By Hugh Belsey
Rising to prominence in Vienna alongside Gustav Klimt and Oskar Kokoschka in the turbulent years around the First World War, Egon Schiele (1890-1918) is one of the most important artists of the early 20th century and a central figure of Austrian Expressionism. Accompanying the first ever museum show in the United Kingdom devoted entirely to the artist, this publication will explore in detail one of Schiele’s most vital and original subjects – his extraordinary drawings and watercolors of male and female nudes. It will bring together an outstanding group of the artist’s works to chart his groundbreaking approach during his short but urgent career.
Inspired by the recent identification of a third autographed version of Gainsborough’s masterpiece The Cottage Door, this book examines the significance of the multiple versions of designs that the artist produced during the 1780s. It demonstrates that without the pressure of exhibiting his work annually at the Academy and without a string of sitters waiting for their finished portraits, Gainsborough’s work became more personal, more thoughtful. This study of the last phase of the artist’s work is a totally fresh interpretation of not only The Cottage Door but other key works such as Mrs Sheridan and Diana and Acteon. $40.00, 9781907372506, Paperback, 80 illus, 128 pages, Now Available, Paul Holberton Publishing

This beautifully illustrated catalog accompanied an exhibition at the leading London gallery Piano Nobile, celebrating the achievements of Mart Gertler (1891-1939). It charts Gertler’s career from an early British modernist at the close of the Edwardian era through his most radical period during the years of the First World War to the ‘return to order’ of the 1920s, when Gertler was recognized as a consummate painter with a highly individual vision. Gertler’s biographer and cataloger Sarah MacDougall introduces us to celebrate and little-known painting and drawings from a number of private collections.
The Courtauld Gallery holds the most important collection of works in the United Kingdom by the Post-impressionist master Paul Gauguin (1841–1903).

Intrinsic to this process is the concept of “reform,” a recognition that changes is necessary in order to return to a more authentic Christian life. The approximately thirty-five manuscripts presented here trace this process from the twelfth to the sixteenth centuries through the texts that inspired reform movements and communicated their ideas to others.

Sacred Stitches accompanies an exhibition that will assemble together for the first time fragments of opulent and unique ecclesiastical textiles drawn from the stored collections at Waddesdon Manor, the astonishing Renaissance-style château that is one of the rare survivors of the splendor of the ‘goût Rothschild’. Dating from c. 1400 to the late 1700s, the textiles were acquired by several members of the Rothschild family, the greatest collectors of the 19th century, who sought the highest quality of workmanship with a keen sense of historical importance.
MEDITATIONS ON A HERITAGE Papers on the Work and Legacy of Sir Ernst Gombrich Edited by Paul Taylor That Ernst Gombrich was one of the most important art historians of the 20th century would seem to go without saying. The importance of Gombrich’s work on the history of taste has yet to be fully recognized, and when it comes to the application of developments in psychology to the visual arts he has remained largely, among art historians, on his own. These essays assess the nature of his empiricism, the degree to which his ideas have been adopted, overturned or developed, and his contribution to the dialogue of art and perception. $30.00, 9781907372544, Paperback, 20 illus, 144 pages, Now Available, Paul Holberton Publishing

A Masterpiece from Northern Iraq
Johan Thopas, Master Draughtsman
Pope, Roubiliac and the Portrait Bust
By Rachel Ward, Charles Melville, Robert Hillenbrand & Marianna Shreve Simpson
By Rudlolf E.O. Ekkart
By Malcom Baker
Until recently, the Dutch draughtsman Johan Thopas, who was born in 1626 both deaf and dumb, was only known to a small group of connoisseurs, dealers and collectors. However, his remarkable, subtle and technically refined portrait drawings on parchment deserve a wider audience. This handsome publication, the first devoted to his work, will prove to be an eye opener for any art lovers. In the accompanying exhibition his only known painting and the one mythological drawing are accompanied by thirty of his most beautiful portraits, from private collections in the US, Canada, United Kingdom and the Netherlands, as well as well-known museums and print rooms.
No literary figure of the 18th-century was more esteemed than the poet Alexander Pope, and his sculpted portraits exemplify the celebration of literary fame at a period when authorship was being newly conceived and the portrait bust was enjoying new popularity. Accompanying an exhibition at Waddesdon Manor (The Rothschild Collection), this publication explores the convergence between authorship, portraiture, and the sculpted image in particular, by bringing together a wide range of works that foreground Pope’s celebrity status. The core of the publication consists of eight different versions of the same portrait bust by the leading sculptor of the period, Louis François Roubiliac.
COURT AND CRAFT
Accompanying a major scholarly exhibition at The Courtauld Gallery, this book explores one of the most beautiful and enigmatic objects in The Courtauld’s collection: the so-called ‘Courtauld wallet’, a brass container richly inlaid with gold and silver, imitating a lady’s textile or leather bag, and probably made in Mosul in northern Iraq around 1300. Encompassing a variety of multidisciplinary essays by distinguished historians and art historians, this publication aims to explore the origins, function and iconography of this splendid luxury object as well as the cultural context in which it was made and used. $45.00, 9781907372650, Paperback, 120 col illus, 176 pages, Now Available, Paul Holberton Publishing

A Guide to the Dutch and Flemish Pictures at the Mansion House
In 1966 Mark Gambier Parry bequeathed to the Courtauld Gallery the art collection formed by his grandfather Thomas Gambier Parry, who died in 1888. In addition to important paintings, Renaissance glass and ceramics, and Islamic metalwork, this included 28 medieval and Renaissance ivories. Since 1967 about half of the ivories have been on permanent display at The Courtauld, yet they have remained largely unknown, even to experts. This catalogue is the first publication dedicated solely to the collection. There are examples of the highest quality of ivory carving, both secular and religious in content, and a number of the objects are of outstanding interest.
Published to accompany the first exhibition on ceramics of the Middle Ages anywhere for more than 50 years, this beautiful publication aims to demystify medieval art by highlighting the beauty and familiarity of ceramic pots and tiles from all over northern Europe, with an emphasis on 13th to early 16th-century England. Though there has been much important research on archaeological investigation published, there has been little presentation or study on medieval pots as works of art. Informed by all the latest archaeological research, detailed examination of each work by specialist scholar Maureen Mellor is accompanied by exquisite new photography, revealing each remarkable pot and tile in all its glory.

WEST COUNTRY TO WORLD’S END
By Charles Truman
By Sam Smiles
The 18th-century gold snuffbox was the ultimate fashion accessory – beautifully made, exquisitely decorated and very expensive, its form and ornament subject to the changing taste of the time. The collection of gold boxes at the Wallace Collection is small in number, but contains some of the finest in any museum and can boast of some of the most famous boxes in the world. The 99 pieces cataloged here represent a brilliant cross-section of the products of the European goldsmith between c. 1730 and 1830. This beautiful publication considerably advances our knowledge and appreciation of the Wallace Collection’s gold boxes and establishes their place in the scholarship of 18th-century decorative arts.
During the Tudor Age the South West was famed for the innovation and endeavor of its people. They lived during the religious turmoil and political intrigue of Elizabeth I’s reign – a time of opportunity for the merchants and traders of Devon. Aspects of their lives are revealed in this book, published to accompany the fascinating exhibition at the Royal Albert Memorial Museum, Exeter, which draws together paintings, artifacts and documents from galleries, museums and record offices to tell the story of the South West and its people set against the backdrop of one of the most, evocative periods in British history.

Sculpting the Empire
Macchine da cantiere
By Nicola Capon
By Andrea Bernardoni & Alexander Neuwahl
John Tweed (1869-1933) was a hugely successful artist who, during his lifetime, became known as ‘The Empire Sculptor’. After training at the Glasgow School of Art, he moved to London and then spent six months in Paris. There he met August Rodin and went on to become his principal agent and friend in England. Tweed worked at the very heart of the London art world and created lasting images of many leading Victorian and Edwardian figures such as Cecil Rhodes and Lord Kitchener. His legacy of public sculptures is to be found ranged across the British Empire.

ENGLISH CATHEDRALS AND MONASTERIES THROUGH THE CENTURIES
The Art, Architecture and Garden Design of the Nesfields By Shirley Rose Evans In this informative and charming volume, Shirley Evans explores the lives of two of the most prominent designers of the nineteenth century; designers who have left their distinctive mark on buildings and gardens throughout the British Isles. William Andrews Nesfield and Eden Nesfield, father and son, were infatuated with the beauty and romance of the past, and both played an important role in the nineteeth-century revivals of the Jacobean, Renaissance and Gothic styles. Shirley Evans considers the education of both men and the evolution of their aesthetic sensibilities in detail. Both were highly accomplished painters, and John Ruskin lauded Nesfield Senior’s watercolors. This illustrated volume will be of great interest to enthusiasts of the remarkable work of the Nesfields in particular, or of Victorian design in general. $60.00, 9780718893231, Paperback, 1 figure, 51 b/w images & 53 col images, Now Available, Lutterworth Press

THE ATHENIAN AGORA
PARTHENON SCULPTURES
REGENCY HOUSE STYLES
Museum Guide
By Ian Jenkins
By Trevor Yorke
By Laura Gawlinski
The Parthenon sculptures in the British Museum are unrivalled examples of classical Greek art that have inspired sculptors, artists, poets and writers since their creation in the fifth century BC. This book serves as a superb visual introduction to these magnificent sculptures. The book showcases a series of specially taken photographs of the different sculptural elements: the pediments, metopes and Ionic frieze. It captures the vitality of the sculptures in a group, an individual sculpture or an exquisite eye-catching detail, such as the mane of a horse, a human foot, the swish of drapery or a youthful head bowed in thought.
Ancient Egypt, Greek temples, Indian palaces and medieval castles are just some of the sources of inspiration, which architects used when designing houses in the Regency period. This new book explains the bewildering wealth of exotic and historic forms which characterized the period and, using his own drawings and photographs, author Trevor Yorke demonstrates the work of the leading designers, the types of houses they built and the details both inside and out which are distinctive of this elegant period.
Written for the general visitor, the Athenian Agora Museum Guide leads the reader through all of the display spaces within the Stoa of Attalos in the Athenian Agora — the terrace, the ground-floor colonnade, and the newly opened upper story.

32 E NGL IS H HE RITAGE ALSTON MOOR, CUMBRIA Buildings in a North Pennines Landscape By Lucy Jessop, Matthew Whitfield & Andrew Davison Alston Moor is a large rural parish in Cumbria, which historically both depended upon and provided important services for the agricultural and mineral industries of the North Pennines. Much of the area’s settlement is dispersed among hamlets and single farmsteads. Isolated from major northern cities such as Carlisle and Newcastle by the surrounding hills and moors, the parish’s wild upland landscape provides a conditioning influence on a distinctive tradition of vernacular building types, ranging from the bastle to its later 18th- and 19th-century derivatives and ‘mine shops’ providing lodgings for miners close to their place of work. Found across the parish, and with urban variants present in Alston itself, these buildings have in common first-floor living accommodation whilst the ground floor is used for cow byres in more rural areas and for general storage, workshops and shops in urban and industrial contexts. This development of the bastle, a fortified house type found on both sides of the Anglo-Scottish border is nationally significant yet remains underexamined at the level of architectural and historical synthesis.

A R C H I T E C T U R E BUILDINGS OF THE LABOUR MOVEMENT
COVENTRY The making of a modern city 1939-1973 By Jeremy Gould & Caroline Gould
By Nick Mansfield
The Coventry Blitz of 14 November 1940 was a key event of the Second World War and in the growth of public consciousness of the destructive power of warfare. The medieval city, already undergoing rapid change, was largely destroyed on that night. The destruction was seen as an opportunity by some including the then City Architect, Donald Gibson. The result was the first of the master plans for post-war redevelopment of Britain’s bombed city centers. The redevelopment of Coventry city center to plans by Gibson and his successors provided an intensely urban and civilized center, embodying new planning principles. The modern demands of a growing city on its center are now very different from those of the post-war years. Coventry needs to grow and plan for its future and change will inevitably affect the city center. This book aims to inform the public and decision makers of the significance of Coventry, and especially its center, so that change can be managed in ways that will continue the life, use and enjoyment of the best of Coventry’s remarkable post-war heritage.
This fascinating survey ranges from the communal buildings of the early 19thcentury political radicals, Owenites and Chartists, through Arts and Crafts influenced socialist structures of the late Victorian and Edwardian period to the grand union ‘castles’ of the mid twentieth century. There are also chapters on the ubiquitous co-operative architecture, long forgotten socialist holiday camps, and those memorials associated with the hidden story of radical ex-servicemen and their remembrance of war dead. The countryside is also not forgotten with rural labour buildings, as well as the clubhouses of idealistic socialist cyclists. The book though is not just about bricks and mortar but uncovers the social history of the men and women who worked so hard locally to achieve their goals. Though many buildings have been lost over the years, the book outlines the recent struggle for their preservation and details many which can still be visited. $60.00, 9781848021297, Paperback, 220 illus, 164 pages, Now Available, English Heritage

BUILT TO BREW By Lynn Pearson Beer has been brewed in England since Neolithic times, and this book combines a thoroughly enjoyable exploration of beer’s history and built heritage with new in-depth research into the nuts and bolts of its production. Based around England’s breweries, but occasionally ranging further afield, it tells the intriguing story of the growth of this significant industry. From Georgian brewing magnates who became household names – and their brewhouses notable tourist attractions – through magnificently ornate Victorian towers to the contemporary resurgence of microbreweries, the text throws new light on brewers and the distinctive architecture of their buildings. Traditional working breweries are to be treasured and celebrated, but complementing these, the book looks to the future, considering constructive redevelopment as part of our national brewing heritage. This fascinating and lavishly illustrated work shows how deeply interwoven beer and brewing are within English culture. If you care about beer, industry or England, this book is for you. $50.00, 9781848022386, Paperback, 326 illus, 200 pages, September 2014, English Heritage
EARLY STRUCTURAL STEEL IN LONDON BUILDINGS A discreet revolution By Jonathan Clarke In 1909, one of the world's great cities, London, finally sanctioned steel-frame architecture. For the previous quarter century, a new structural material steel - had been discreetly changing the anatomy and physiology of the capital's new buildings, and shifting professional dynamics between architects, engineers, and contractors. Contemporaries called it 'The Age of Steel', one noting 'nowhere have the days of steel been more pregnant with change than in architecture and building'. This richly illustrated book takes a refreshing new look at Victorian and Edwardian architecture, examining how mild steel - which superseded cast and wrought iron - was put to use in theatres, hotels, clubs, offices and many other building types. Interwoven are chapters examining technological developments, Continental and American cross-currents, legislative and philosophical precepts, and constructional and architectural consequences. This compelling narrative is about much more than rivets and girders; it embraces architectural and constructional history in one of its most exciting periods. $150.00, 9781848021037, Hardback, 357 figures, 408 pages, Now Available, English Heritage

A R C H I T E C T U R E HAUGHMOND ABBEY
JOHN NASH
Excavation of a 12thCentury Cloister in its Historical and Landscape Context
By Geoffrey Tyack
By Jeffrey J. West & Nicholas Palmer Haughmond Abbey was a prosperous house of Augustinian Canons north-east of Shrewsbury. Today it is an extensive ruin in the guardianship of English Heritage. The work reported on had its origins in excavations carried out in and near the cloister in 1975-79, but the scope has been broadened to place the site in its historical, theological, architectural and landscape context. The finds from the excavations and previous clearance work, including significant groups of Romanesque sculpture, funerary monuments, pottery and floor tiles, are the subject of a full range of specialist reports. There is a comprehensive analysis of the surviving claustral buildings, while a survey of the earthworks surrounding the site has revealed the precinct boundary, water management systems and a series of formal gardens. Among the conclusions is the suggestion that Haughmond makes a plausible context for the composition in the 13th century of Ancrene Wisse and the Katherine Group of writings. $200.00, 9781848020627, Paperback, 254 illus, 416 pages, NYP, English Heritage
LONDON’S WEST END CINEMAS
Architect of the Picturesque
By Allen Eyles & Keith Skone
John Nash is universally recognized as one of the most important architects of late eighteenth- and early nineteenth-century Britain. As the man responsible for the creation of Regent Street and Regent’s Park, he left an indelible mark on the West End of London, and his two most famous buildings - the Brighton Pavilion and Buckingham Palace - are crucial to any understanding of the monarchy in the age of the Prince Regent. Yet, even before he became involved in these ambitious projects, he made a major contribution to domestic architecture through the design of a series of stylistically varied villas, country houses and cottages. No complete study of Nash’s work has been published since Sir John Summerson’s The Life and Work of John Nash, Architect in 1980. Since then, new scholarship has revised some of Summerson’s conclusions and cast new light on several important aspects of Nash’s work. The aim of this book is to bring together this recent scholarship in a single volume, and so bring this most engaging of architects to a new generation of readers.
The history of London’s West End cinemas dates back more than one hundred years. This book details all of them, in chronological order, totaling well over one hundred. The best of the West End’s cinemas were outfitted to a very high standard to match their role as showcases for new films, hosting press shows and premieres, as well as a being a magnet for film enthusiasts anxious to see films on exclusive premiere runs. Even now, when films are available everywhere at the same time, the West End’s cinemas are a vibrant attraction to visitors from all over the world as well as for Londoners having a night on the town. There are interior views as well as exteriors of most of the cinemas, and over 50 illustrations are in full color. This is a valuable and comprehensive addition to the history of the West End that will appeal to cinema enthusiasts as well as social historians and students of London and of architecture and design. $50.00, 9781848022577, Paperback, 440 illus, 208 pages, Now Available, English Heritage

Its History and Architecture
SLAVERY AND THE BRITISH COUNTRY HOUSE
By Steven Brindle
Edited by Madge Dresser & Andrew Hann
Paddington Station in London is one of Britain's most splendid and historically significant railway termini, as the home and headquarters of the Great Western Railway, and as one of the masterpieces of its chief engineer Isambard Kingdom Brunel (180659). Steven Brindle's comprehensive history, the first full-length study of the station to be published, first appeared in 2004. Around the same time, in the course of research for the book, the author discovered Brunel's earliest surviving cast-iron bridge, which spanned the Regents Canal just outside the station but had hitherto been unrecognized, just in time to prevent its destruction for a major new road bridge and negotiate its salvage by dismantling. The second edition of the book, richly illustrated from a wealth of historic sources and now published in a larger format, has been updated to take account of a series of momentous recent developments at Paddington: the reprieve and restoration of the stations Edwardian fourth span; the project to create a new entrance on its north side; and the impending redevelopment of its south side to serve as one of the principal stations on the new Crossrail route across London.
The British country house has long been regarded as the jewel in the nation’s heritage crown. But the country house is also an expression of wealth and power, and as scholars reconsider the nation’s colonial past, new questions are being posed about these great houses and their links to Atlantic slavery. This book, authored by a range of academics and heritage professionals, grew out of a 2009 conference on ‘Slavery and the British Country house: mapping the current research’. It asks what links might be established between the wealth derived from slavery and the British country house and what implications such links should have for the way such properties are represented to the public today. Lavishly illustrated and based on the latest scholarship, this wide-ranging and innovative volume provides in-depth examinations of individual houses, regional studies and critical reconsiderations of existing heritage sites, including two studies specially commissioned by English Heritage and one sponsored by the National Trust.

THE TOWN HOUSE IN MEDIEVAL AND EARLY MODERN BRISTOL
THE ENGLISH RAILWAY STATION By Steven Parissien The railway station is one of England’s most distinctive, characterful and best-loved buildingtypes. Yet over the past century the nation’s stations have often been overlooked or dismissed, and have suffered accordingly. Hearteningly, today a new interest in railways – fuelled by the need for sustainability, by a growing awareness of the realities of transport economics and by the dedication of enthusiastic volunteers at heritage railways across the country – has sparked a renaissance for the historic railway station and a new appreciation of the aesthetic virtues and regeneration potential of imaginative station architecture. The English Railway Station is an accessible, engaging and comprehensively illustrated general history of the architectural development and social history of the British railway station, from the dawn of the Railway Age to the ravages of the 1960s and the station’s rebirth at the end of the 20th century. It traces how the station evolved into a recognizable building type, examines the great cathedrals and the evocative country stations of the Victorian era, and looks at how the railway station has, over the last fifty years, regained its place at the heart of our communities. $60.00, 9781848022362, Hardback, 100 illus, 224 pages, November 2014, NYP, English Heritage

By Roger H. Leech This study, covering the period c.1000 to c.1800 AD, is of the medieval and early modern houses of Bristol, England’s second city in the later Middle Ages and again in the 18th century. Based partly on the survey of surviving early buildings, the study also makes extensive use of documentary evidence and records of houses now demolished to analyze how town houses reveal the social structure and aspirations of Bristol’s citizens in this period. The development of the town and city in the medieval and the early modern period is examined, then aspects of life on the urban tenement plot. The principal house types of the medieval period are fully explored, showing the aspirations and separate identity of the urban elite in the largest of such houses. This book demonstrates the possibilities for using documentary and physical evidence to reconstruct the fabric of a city and the social character of its different parts. Particularly important is the development of a new way of looking at medieval and early modern urban housing, focusing specifically on the relationships between different building types and changes in building forms, both of which reveal the complex character of an evolving commercial city. $200.00, 9781848020535, Hardback, 680 illus, 432 pages, October 2014, NYP, English Heritage

ANGEL ROOFS OF EAST ANGLIA
H20 ARCHITECTS TO 2012
Unseen Masterpieces of the Middle Ages
By Elizabeth Jarrelly & Brian Sadgrove
By Michael Rimmer
The buildings of H20 architects Tim Hairburgh and Mark O’Dwyer have been praised for their design commitment to sustainability, playfulness and their intelligent responses to a variety of sites and purposes. These architects practice what they call ‘expensive modernism’ in their design, which are predominantly for schools, government buildings and universities. No two alike, the buildings can be brilliantly colored like Avondale Heights Library and Learning Centre or rough and timbered like RMIT’s Textile Faculty in South Brunswick. Swinburne and Deakin Universities have also benefited from H20’s unique designs, as has Victoria’s State Emergency Service Headquarters. This is architecture with a difference – beautifully illustrated in the book.
By the late middle ages English constructional and decorative woodworking had attained a level of skill and sophistication unrivalled in Europe. East Anglia’s churches are home to one of the most spectacular and distinctive products of this medieval expertise: the angel roof. Built mainly between 1400 and 1530, and overwhelmingly an East Anglian phenomenon, angel roofs were an expression of religious belief, wealth, status and regional skill. Using specialist lenses and techniques to capture distant and inaccessible detail, Michael Rimmer’s photographs reveal the unseen beauty of East Anglia’s angel roofs and the vision of the medieval craftsmen who made them, while his engaging and knowledgeable text brings to life the personalities, economics and power structures of 15th Century East Anglia. $50.00, 9780718893699, Paperback, 50 col images, 288 pages, November 2015, NYP, Lutterworth Press

KING’S COLLEGE CHAPEL, ABERDEEN, 1500–2000
LIMERICK AND SOUTH-WEST IRELAND
By Jane Geddes
By Roger Stalley
This new edition is a revised and expanded version of This new edition is a revised and expanded version of the book produced in 2000 to celebrate the quincentenary of King’s College Chapel, Aberdeen. Thanks to an unusually tolerant and conservative attitude towards religion at the university following the Reformation, the chapel has survived in a more complete medieval state than any other church in Scotland. The rich archive of university documents show how benign neglect and a fierce pride in their iconic building caused the university to maintain the structure and its furnishings even during the long centuries when it ceased to serve a religious function.
The essays in this volume are devoted to the art and architecture of Munster, one of the four ancient provinces of Ireland. A major theme underpinning many of the essays is the degree to which Irish craftsmen and builders engaged with the rest of Europe, and the nature of their relationship with English practice. The extent to which the advent of Gothic was a colonial phenomenon, an inevitable consequence of the Anglo-Norman conquest of Ireland after 1170, is likewise considered.

This study explores different visions of contemporary London using the tools of cultural and literary studies and comparing works by Iain Sinclair and Will Self. For both, London is basically an experience where the physical and topographical environment evokes the endless reservoir of films, novels, images, and cultural materials that finds in this city a fruitful source of inspiration.

THE IMAGE OF VENICE
RUSSIA
Fialetti’s View and Sir Henry Wotton
A World Apart
By Deborah Howard & Henrietta McBurney, Contributions from Christy Anderson, Ruth Bubb & Andrew Hopkins
By Duncan McLaren & Simon Marsden
This book explores the creation of one of the city of Venice’s largest surviving depictions, which has remained almost unknown to the wider public since its creation exactly four centuries ago. Signed and dated 1611, the painting is the work of the notable early 17th century Bolognese artist Odoardo Fialetti. This book takes a closer look at the remarkable picture and the context in which it was created.
This book is a haunting evocation of the ruined country estates of the Russian aristocracy of the 18th and 19th centuries. Revolution, civil war, invasion, anarchy and casual indifference have conspired against many of the grand buildings of Russia’s rich and complex past. This book illustrates a diverse mix of pre-revolutionary buildings and memorials, manor houses, palaces, churches, statuary and tombs, interspersed with more recent monuments from Soviet times. Each picture tells its own tale.

A R C H I T E C T U R E THE ANGLO-SAXON CHURCH OF ALL SAINTS, BRIXWORTH, NORTHAMPTONSHIRE
TEMPLES AND SANCTUARIES IN THE ROMAN EAST
Survey, Excavation and Analysis, 1972-2010
Religious Architecture in Syria, Iudaea/Palaestina and Provincia Arabia
By David Parsons & Diana Sutherland
By Arthur Segal
All Saints’ Church, Brixworth lies 7 miles north of Northampton. The core of the church is Anglo-Saxon and the research published here provides an unprecedented account of one of the most important buildings of its period surviving in England. The building of the main body of the church was towards the end of the 8th century, with a western tower, stair turret and polygonal apse added before the end of the 9th. Major modifications were made during the early and later medieval periods. The Brixworth Archaeological Research Committee, founded in 1972, embarked on an indepth archaeological and historical study of All Saints’. The archaeological, geological and laboratory findings presented here have been amplified by contextual studies placing the church against its archaeological, architectural, liturgical and historical background, with detailed comparisons with standing and excavated buildings of similar age in north Europe and Italy.
This lavishly illustrated volume presents a comprehensive architectural study of 87 individual temples and sanctuaries built in the Roman East between the end of the 1st century BCE and the end of the 3rd century CE, within a broad region encompassing the modern states of Syria, Lebanon, Israel and Jordan. The temples and sanctuaries studied in this volume demonstrate individual nuances of plan, spatial design, location in the sanctuary and interrelations with the immediate vicinity but can be divided into two main categories: Vitruvian and Non-Vitruvian temples. The individual descriptions presented focus solely upon the analysis of the external and internal space of the temples of all types and do not involve any cultural or ethnic discussion. $99.00, 9781842175262, Hardback, c.350 b/w illus, 400 pages, Now Available, Oxbow Books

STAIRWAY TO HEAVEN The Functions of Medieval Upper Spaces By Toby Huitson Spiral stairs, galleries and upper chambers in medieval cathedrals, abbeys and parish churches have been an enduring source of fascination to scholars since the eighteenth century. But what were these secret stairs, mysterious galleries and hidden upper rooms actually used for – and how can we know? This book presents the evidence for the practical functions of ecclesiastical upper spaces from c. 1000-1550 as revealed through the widest selection of medieval visual, documentary, and artistic media ever assembled for the purpose, taking in treasuries to dovecotes, libraries to lights, and secret games of skittles over the vaults to the daring exploits of the twelfthcentury ‘Flying monk’. Toby Huitson considers these topics with many others, offering a radically new understanding of medieval highlevel function. $60.00, 9781842176658, Paperback, b/w & col throughout, 264 pages, Now Available, Oxbow Books
TRADITIONAL BUILDINGS IN THE OXFORD REGION By John Steane & James Ayres This book provides an account of vernacular architecture in the Oxford region from Anglo-Saxon times to the 19th century. It begins with a discussion of methods and procedures followed by a description of building materials, stone, brick, slate and thatch. This serves as an introduction to the heart of the book, eleven chapters dealing with surveys of cruck buildings, manorial and moated sites, and town houses with particular emphasis on Abingdon, and houses in the countryside from farmhouses to cottages. The book is richly and profusely illustrated with over 500 illustrations, photographs, maps, and a particular strength, a large number of drawings of architectural details and sketch perspectives. $90.00, 9781842174791, Hardback, over 500 col & b/w illus, 463 pages, Now Available, Oxbow Books
USING IMAGES IN LATE ANTIQUITY Edited by Stine Birk, Troels Myrup Kristensen & Birte Poulsen Fifteen papers focus on the active and dynamic uses of images during the first millennium AD. They bring together an international group of scholars who situate the period’s visual practices within their political, religious, and social contexts. The contributors present a diverse range of evidence, including mosaics, sculpture, and architecture from all parts of the Mediterranean, from Spain in the west to Jordan in the east. Contributions span from the depiction of individuals on funerary monuments through monumental epigraphy, Constantine’s expropriation and symbolic re-use of earlier monuments, late antique collections of Classical statuary, and city personifications in mosaics to the topic of civic prosperity during the Theodosian period and dynastic representation during the Umayyad dynasty. Together they provide new insights into the central role of visual culture in the constitution of late antique societies. $65.00, 9781782972617, Paperback, b/w illus & 1 col section, 288 pages, Now Available, Oxbow Books

A R C H I T E C T U R E EAST DORSET COUNTRY HOUSES
THE AESTHETICS OF UTOPIA
By Michael Hill
Saltaire, Akroydon and Bedford Park
Despite the huge growth of Pugin studies in recent decades, there has been no comprehensive catalogue of his architectural output until now. In this groundbreaking study Gerard Hyland identifies over 290 executed works and at least 84 unexecuted designs spread over five countries and two continents. They are grouped by building type into eleven categories, each with an introduction. The entries comprise an architectural description plus information about patronage, later building history and a list of sources. There are also six appendices providing important background information and a summary lists of works usefully arranged by both diocese and county.
A superbly researched and illustrated account of country houses in eastern Dorset. It contains numerous plans, architectural drawings, information on owners’ architects and craftsmen, and covers the whole social and historical background, which lead to their creation. Ranging from the medieval palace buildings at Corfe Castle, erected for King John, to minor masterpieces of the Modern Movement, such as Landfall, Poole by Oliver Hill, over 30 major buildings are described in detail. 80 others find a place in an illustrated gazetteer. This book is for anyone who loves country houses or the astonishingly beautiful county of Dorset.

ANGLICAN CHURCHBUILDING IN LONDON 1946-2012
THE BISHOP’S PALACE AT SALISBURY
THE BUILDERS OF EDINBURGH NEW TOWN 1767–1795
By Michael Yelton & John Salmon
By Peter L Smith
By Anthony Lewis
One of the least known yet most important buildings in Salisbury is the former Bishops’ Palace. First built when the city was established in the 1220s, it was home to successive bishops for over 700 years until becoming the Cathedral School in 1946. This book traces the evolution of the palace, chronicles the most important bishops who lived there and sets the story within the relevant contexts of English history. It also describes the other (numerous) palaces of the bishops of Salisbury and catalogues the portraits that have hung in the Salisbury Palace.
Edinburgh is one of the world’s most beautiful cities. Its New Town enjoys UNESCO World Heritage status and this book provides the hitherto unwritten history about the men who actually built it. Although working for Britain’s greatest architects, Robert Adam and Sir William Chambers, many tradesmen harbored ambitions to build in the New Town themselves and they came to enjoy unprecedented status for their work. Dr. Lewis tells their story bringing littleknown heroes out of the shadows
By G. J. Hyland
In the post-war period as many as 250 new churches were built in the London area, a very large corpus of work which has been largely overlooked by commentators. Many of the buildings were replacements for ones destroyed in the war or of large Victorian churches in the suburbs. The range of buildings is wide and includes work by well-known architects N.F. achemaille-Day and Maguire & Murray as well as many lesser figures that deserve to be better known. The book consists of a wide-ranging introduction followed by a gazetteer in which most churches are illustrated by both an exterior and an interior view. $59.95, 9781904965442, Hardback, 430 illus, 260 pages, Now Available, Spire Books

By Sheila Binns Saltaire, Akroydon and Bedford Park are planned, model urban communities of the nineteenth century – two of them in Yorkshire, the third in west London. All three villages grew from the ideas of developers intent on creating a fine environment for living. Each has a unique aesthetic style, and, like a Victorian painting, has messages embedded in the decorative detail. This book explores how these ideals were translated into the villages themselves, reveals the hidden significance of aesthetic details and is a testimony to the creative endeavor of our Victorian forebears. $30.00, 9781904965459, Paperback, 50 b/w & 33 col illus, 96 pages, Now Available, Spire Books
