THE ARCHITECTURE OF THE SCOTTISH MEDIEVAL CHURCH 1100-1560

by Richard Fawcett

Published by Yale University Press. 1st. 2011

Slightly better than very good condition in a slightly better than very good dustwrapper. The first in-depth survey of Scotland's medieval church architecture covers buildings constructed between the early 12th century and the Reformation in 1560. From majestic cathedrals and abbeys to modest parish churches and chapels, Richard Fawcett places the architecture in context by considering the varied sources of ideas that underlay church designs. Large format. Blue cloth boards, silver title to spine. B/w pictorial endpapers. Colour & b/w photos. xiii and 456 pages including index.

Top & tail of spine lightly rubbed. Top corners of boards bumped giving rise to a light corner cease to contents (minor). Else a lovely copy. Pictorial dustwrapper is lightly scuffed.
