No Customer Reviews
This standard work on building in England, long unavailable, has now been reissued. It provides a compendious account, firmly grounded in contemporary documentary evidence of architecture and music practice until the mid-sixteenth century. It examines the organization and economics of the building trade, its raw materials and their sources, the tools and techniques of the many and diverse workers involved, and the decoration of the finished structures. Original documents, including building and craftsmen's contracts, are reprinted in the Appendices, making this an invaluable source for anyone interested in medieval architecture.
