Hardcover. Zustand: Very Good. Like New. First Edition. Bright, clean copy in slightly rubbed dj. A Tainted Mantle focuses on two works of Carolingian literature and art, Theodulf of Orleans' poem "Contra Iudices", and the ivory throne identified as the Cathedra Petri (the Throne of St Peter). Both works feature the pagan hero Hercules, showing him not as a positive model for Carolingian rulers, as has often been suggested, but in fact as an embodiment of traditions of ancient paganism that were antithetical to early medieval Christianity. "Contra Iudices", written in AD 799-800 for Charlemagne and members of his court circle, includes a famous passage describing a silver vessel decorated with scenes from the life of Hercules.

The Cathedra Petri, a throne made for Charlemagne's grandson Charles the Bald, includes a cycle of inlaid and gilded ivories depicting the 12 Labours of Hercules and six mon.…

Paperback. Zustand: New. The first millennium saw a rich and distinctive artistic tradition form in Europe. While books had long been central to the Christian religious tradition, education, and culture, they now became an important artistic medium, sometimes decorated with brilliant colours and precious metals.Lawrence Nees explores issues of artist patronage, craftsmanship, holy men and women, monasteries, secular courts, and the expressive and educational roles of artistic creation. He discusses early Christian art within the late Roman tradition, and the arts of the newly established kingdoms of northern Europe not as opposites, but as different aspects of a larger historical situation. This approach reveals the onset of an exciting new visual relationship between the church and the populace throughout medieval Europe, restoring a previously marginalized subject to a central status in our artistic and cultural heritage.…
