Notă biografică

Herbert Schutz, Ph.D. (1968) German, Toronto, Professor Emeritus of Modern Languages, Literatures and Cultures at Brock University, Canada. Fifth in a sequence of cultural histories of Central Europe from prehistoric times to the end of the Carolingian period, this volume followsTools, Weapons and Ornaments. Germanic Material Culture 400-750(Brill, 2001).

Descriere

This book presents an historical overview of the Frankish realms in Central Europe during the Carolingian period. Against this background Part II of the book examines the cultural inventory deposited by the scribal culture in Central Europe as represented by manuscripts, crystals, ivories and gem encrusted liturgical art. Part III deals with such examples of Carolingian wall painting and architecture as are still evident in Central Europe. Though some examples are derivative, many are original. To reflect the splendor of the objects and surfaces discussed in Parts II and III, the book is lavishly ornamented with pertinent color illustrations. Black and white illustrations generally serve the representation of architecture.

Recenzii

'Schutz describes various works of literature, manuscripts, ivory carvings, reliquaries, palaces, and churches to demonstrate the variety of styles within the Carolingian realms, particularly eastern Francia. The book is a storehouse of information and illustrations of the diverse artifacts of Carolingian culture...'
Anna Taylor,H-Net Review, 2005.
