Tomb Monuments in Medieval Europe: Volume II

Edited by Paul Cockerham and Christian Steer

This the second of a three-volume series brings together a new group of international experts who consider the development, growth and purpose of funerary commemoration during the Later Middle Ages. They reflect on questions raised in volume I, examining the circumstances for individual commissions, local, regional and national patterns and the importance and influence of patronage in the period from c.1300. Essays also reflect on the language of memorial inscriptions and the role of audience. Contributors consider such developments in Burgundy, England, France, the Holy Roman Empire, Iberia, the Italian States, Naples, Poland, Portugal, Scotland and the Spanish Netherlands. This important new publication includes eighteen essays by a range of international specialists in their field:
