Presented by ex-pupils and friends to Peter Kidson, Professor of Medieval Architecture at the Courtauld Institute, as a mark of respect and affection for arguably the most influential historian of medieval architecture of his generation in the English-speaking world. The essays in this volume reflect the range of Peter Kidson's own interests and are united in following his approach to medieval architecture and art: a determination to see buildings and objects in the intellectual terms of the time in which they were created. Edited by Eric Fernie and Paul Crossley. Navy blue cloth boards, gilt title to spine. B/w photos and illustrations. xxvii and 304 pages including list of subscribers to rear. ISBN: 1852850345. Neat name in ink to front endpaper. Else contents clean. Blue dustwrapper is very lightly scuffed. Includes letter from and signed by Peter Kidson.
