Évaluation du vendeur 4 sur 5 étoiles
Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book compiles a representative collection of house mottoes and other inscriptions in both England and abroad. It is an excellent reference for those curious about architectural history. The author points out that these decorative and informative traces of the past can be found on every social strata of building, from modest homes to grand palaces. The author also traces the history of house inscriptions to the Egyptians, who often recorded the names and exploits of their kings and other notable figures on their buildings and monuments. This practice was adopted by other civilizations throughout history, becoming widespread in medieval Europe, where religious sentiments were often expressed on buildings. The book includes many examples of such pious inscriptions, as well as humorous or cautionary ones, giving insight into the beliefs, hopes, and fears of people in different eras. The author's concluding point is that examining house inscriptions provides a fascinating glimpse into the evolution of human thought and feeling across cultures and time. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
