Lethaby, William Richard. Mediaeval art from the peace of the church to the eve of the Renaissance, 312-1250. [*]$2. imp. Scribner.
“The book is divided into twelve chapters, of which the first deals with the age of Constantine.... Four chapters following this treat of the Romanesque and Byzantine.... Then comes chapter VI., which deals with the peculiar characteristics of the later Middle ages.... This chapter introduces the treatment of Gothic art, which fills the second half of the volume. The discussion of it stops with the fourteenth century. There are 66 full-page, half-tone prints and 125 text cuts.”—Nation.
“But while Mr. Lethaby has assimilated the important results of foreign research, he is thoroughly independent in his judgments.”
