This authoritative, accessible survey is the first since 1927 devoted entirely to ivories of the Middle Ages. Color photographs display the V&A's significant collection, which is especially strong in Carolingian, Anglo-Saxon, and English Romanesque examples. Following an essay on the V&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 existing literature and incorporating new research. Praise for MEDIEVAL IVORY CARVINGS: "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." The Art Newspaper "The end result is the nearest thing to perfection attained in any catalogue of ivories today." West 86th: A Journal of Decorative Arts, Design History, and Material Culture (Bard Graduate Center) "The volume is, in sum, not simply a catalogue of ivories but a fundamental contribution to the history of medieval art." The Burlington Magazine "A superlative achievement, setting a high standard for all future catalogues and making an immense contribution to scholarship."
