Synopsis
Excerpt from A Manual for the Study of the Sepulchral Slabs and Crosses of the Middle Ages
This branch of archaeology has been hitherto much neglected, though it is a very interesting one, and the examples are much more numerous than is generally gined; the number which has already come under the author's notice amounts nearly to one thousand: much doubtless yet remains to be done in it, and the author begs to state his intention of prosecuting this study, and earnestly solicits the assistance of antiquarian students; rubbings, accurate drawings, notices of grave-stones, or any information on the subject, will be highly acceptable and very thankfully received.
The author cannot conclude without acknowledging his obligations to many gentlemen who have kindly lent rub bin gs and drawings, and furnished other assistance to the work, and in an especial manner to Albert Way, Esq., M. A.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book explores the history of ancient grave stones, from their earliest forms in the Roman catacombs to their development into elaborate and symbolic monuments. It traces the evolution of cross designs, from simple incised lines to intricate, raised sculptures, and discusses the various symbols used to represent Christian beliefs and the lives of the deceased. The book provides a rich overview of the diverse artistic styles and regional variations of grave stones, from the Celtic crosses of Ireland to the elaborately ornamented slabs of England and France. It explores the techniques used to create these stones, such as incising, relief carving, and the use of colored pigments. Through detailed examination and analysis, the book reveals the cultural and historical significance of grave stones, shedding light on the beliefs, values, and social practices of past civilizations. It highlights the role of these monuments in commemorating the dead, marking the boundaries of sacred spaces, and providing a glimpse into the minds and hearts of our ancestors.
