About This Item
Donington: Shaun Tyas, 2020. Book. Fine. Hardback. First Edition. 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall. A fine new copy, sewn in sections, hundreds of illustrations mostly printed in colour, index. This festschrift honours the late Jerome Bertram of the Oxford Oratory and former Vice-President of the Monumental Brass Society, who admired, researched, lectured on and wrote about monumental brasses and incised slabs for over fifty years. The essays presented here display the latest research from leading scholars, who shed new light on all types of monument - cross-slabs, effigies, incised slabs and brasses, canopied tombs - as individual case studies and regional surveys. They also consider the production process, workshops, antiquarian studies and the evidence for lost monuments not only in England and Wales but across mainland Europe. They range chronologically from as early as Christ's tomb in ancient Jerusalem through the Roman, medieval and early modern periods and conclude with a study of a brass in nineteenth-century Oxford. These essays are a worthy tribute to an antiquary who did so much to promote the study of medieval funerary monuments. The book also includes a comprehensive bibliography of Bertram's own publications and a Foreword by Martin Stuchfield. The authors of the 25 essays are in order: Christian Steer, Julian Luxford, Martin Henig, Aleksandra McClain, Brian & Moira Gittos, Madeleine Gray, Sally Badham, Nigel Saul, Robert Hutchinson, Philip J. Lankaster & John Blair, Jon Bayliss, Paul Cockerham, Sophie Oosterwijk, Ann J. Adams, Reinhard Lamp, David Lepine, John S. lee, Jean Wilson, Adam White, Robin Emmerson, David Meara, Christian Steer (again), Nicholas Rogers, Richard Busby, and Charlotte A. Stanford..
