Soft cover. Condition: Very Good. 1998 British Museum Press paperback edition. Light reading wear else very good condition. British Museum in April 1995. Subtitled 'Origins, innovations and influences', its focus was the materials, techniques, iconography, patronage and trade of gilded and enamelled glass made in Egypt and Syria during the thirteenth to fifteenth centuries, encompassing the origins of the technique in the Byzantine and early Islamic periods and its influence on production in Venice and other European sites between the fourteenth and nineteenth centuries. The collected papers have now been edited and highly illustrated in colour and black and white to produce the first major publication on the subject since 1930. The twenty-nine specialist contributors include archaeologists, art historians, historians, scientists and glassmakers from Cairo, Ifrane, Jerusalem, St Petersburg, New York, Berlin, Bonn, Starnberg, Venice, Granada, Edinburgh, Nottingham, Bristol and London.
