This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.

The wealth of illustrations, including 131 in full color and gold, present the varied aspects of life in fascinating detail. This handsome collection provides a faithful record of the life of Europe's people through twelve centuries and reflects society's successive preoccupation with religious, philosophical and secular matters. Religious paintings are balanced by a variety of portraits and landscapes and studies of animals, flowers and still lifes. Byzantine mosaics decorated early basilicas. Later secular figures dressed in the fashion of the day were inserted as pious donors into painted scenes depicting incidents in the life of the Holy Family, various saints or biblical characters. The nameless horrors of the other world were depicted by some art- ists with savage re. N° de réf. du vendeur Batch-FM509-G-11183
