The present volume brings together a collection of fourteen articles, written in French, German and English, originally published between 1962 and 2011, devoted to different ways in which ecclesiastical teaching shaped the art of medieval Latin Europe, a theme that has preoccupied the author for his entire scholarly career. His main area of interest have been works of art (in particular liturgical vessels and manuscripts) with unique iconographies unprecedented in the history of art. Since their initial publication, various issues addressed in the papers have benefitted from new art historical research. The author has attempted to provide a selection from the now vast, pertinent literature in the updated references to individual papers included in the present volume. The papers having been revamped, the book now boasts an entirely new set of over 500 illustrations, mostly in colour, which additionally boost the - already classic - scholarship of Piotr Skubiszewski.
