Medieval Craftsmanship and the Modern Amateur: More Particularly with Reference to Metal and Enamel (Classic Reprint) - Softcover
Synopsis
Excerpt from Medieval Craftsmanship and the Modern Amateur: More Particularly With Reference to Metal and Enamel
The recompense,' as he describes it, which was to cure all maladies of idleness, was bestowed on his disciples with a liberality which showed how greatly he had at heart his responsibility for their spiritual welfare as well as for their manual proficiency. The book covers the widest possible field of subjects with a wealth of detail that indicates the studious care with which it had been compiled. And the choice of occupation which it offers ranges from all manner of church work - the making of the utensils of the House of the Lord,' painting of various kinds (not omitting a disquisition on the vexed problem of varnishes) - to metal and glass work of every description, an account of gems and pearls, and the construction of organs.
