Mader, Versuch über die Bracteaten. Prague, 1797, 4to.
And the great Coin Catalogues of
Welzl v. Wellenheim. 3 vols. 8vo. Vienna, 1844 ff. (c. 40,000 coins).
v. Reichel at St Petersburgh, in at least 9 parts.
On current coins we have
Lud. Fort, Neueste Münzkunde, engravings and descr. 8vo. Leipzig, 1851 ff.
p. 45. For almost everything relating to ivories and for a great deal on the subjects which follow, see Handbook of the Arts of the Middle Ages and Renaissance, Translated from the French of M. Jules Labarte, with notes, and copiously illustrated, London, 1855, which will lead the student to the great authorities for medieval art, as Du Sommerard, &c. I have also examined and freely used Histoire des Arts industriels au moyen âge et à l’époque de la Renaissance, Par Jules Labarte. Paris, 1864, 8vo. 2 volumes; accompanied by an album in quarto with descriptions of the plates, also in two volumes.
p. 47. For examples of medieval calligraphy and illuminations see Mr Westwood’s Palæographia Sacra Pictoria, (Lond. 1845), and his Illuminated Illustrations of the Bible, (London, 1846).
p. 48. A good deal of information about Celtic, Romano-British, and medieval pottery will be found in Mr Jewitt’s Life of Wedgwood, London, 1865. For ancient pottery in general (excluding however the medieval) see Dr Birch’s Ancient Pottery and Porcelain, London, 1858, which will conduct the student to the most authentic sources of information. In connection with this should be studied Mr Bunbury’s article in the Edinburgh Review for 1858, to which Mr Oldfield’s paper on Sir W. Temple’s vases in the Transactions of the Royal Soc. of Lit. Vol. VI. pp. 130-149 (1859), may be added.
—— For medieval sculpture see Flaxman’s Lectures. The ‘horrible and burlesque’ style of the earlier ages was discarded in the thirteenth century, when the art revived in Italy. Italian artists executed various sepulchral statues in this country, which possess considerable merit, as do others by native artists, but the great beauty of our sepulchral monuments consists in their architectural decorations.
