Lost Interiors: The Furnishings of Scottish Churches in the Later Middle Ages - David McRoberts and Stephen Mark Holmes.
Price: £17.50 until 31 March 2012, thereafter £20.00
Lost Interiors is the best guide to the rich and colourful interiors and furnishings of pre-Reformation Scottish churches. Based on the 1970 Rhind Lectures of David McRoberts and edited and brought up to date by Stephen Mark Holmes, it uses the few surviving pieces of evidence to guide us through the different parts of a Scottish medieval church and recreate the lost glories of the late medieval and early renaissance Kingdom of the Scots. The various works pf religious art examined show a Scotland which was, at least in its towns and monasteries, in the forefront of European culture. Reading this book will bring to life buildings we know today only as ruins or bare shells.
The publication of David McRoberts’ Rhind Lectures has been long-desired by scholars and Lost Interiors combines his accessible style and unrivalled knowledge of the surviving evidence with a full academic apparatus and many colour illustrations. It should thus be of interest both to the general reader and to specialists. Published with the assistance of the major Scottish heritage bodies and with a commendation from the First Minister of Scotland, it will appeal to historians, art-historians and all who enjoy Scottish history, culture and religion.
ISBN: 978-0-9557591-5-4, 250pp, 197 full colour illustrations. Published by the Aquhorties Press, 2012. Postage: £3.00 UK; £5.00 Europe; Worldwide £9.00 |
