The Art of Time - Teresa Pérez-Higuera - Weidenfeld & Nicholson - 9780297823704 - 2de Hands - Goede Staat - Hardcover - A beautiful, comprehensive look at the art of the middle ages, in an accessible, gift book format. To measure time and the passing of the seasins has always been 1 of man's occupations. Equally, to read significance into various times and seasons, to see the future in the past, has been a preoccupation since man could count. From the early middle ages, illuminated manuscripts showed the passing of time - for the nobles, for the peasantry - and they interpreted how this might augur for the future. In this highly illustrated book, a scholarly text and an accessible layout combine to produce an insight into a period and an art that are often overlooked.
