The author, Paul Williamson, in addition to discussing the pieces themselves in detail, also addresses himself to wider issues of interest to the student of Medieval art. In a lengthy introduction, he writes two informative essays: one on the collecting of Medieval works of art and the other on the materials and techniques of the Medieval artist.
