Surveying the jewellery worn by women in Scandinavian-settled areas of England in the Viking period, this book describes and illustrates these dress fittings, many of which have only recently been found. The book reveals the extent and nature of female participation in the Viking expansion, which is traditionally viewed as a largely masculine affair.

Tandis que la restauration récente des portails de la cathédrale de Rouen nous invite à redécouvrir un exceptionnel décor sculpté, cette étude propose une approche renouvelée et des clés de compréhension pour en faciliter le « décryptage ». Pourquoi le portail des Libraires se couvre-t-il, à la fin du xiiie siècle, de près de 200 bas-reliefs figurant des animaux fabuleux et des créatures hybrides aux côtés de la Création du monde ou encore d’Adam et Ève ? Comment ce premier « modèle » rouennais a-t-il été repris au cours du xive siècle au portail méridional, celui de la Calende, mais aussi à la primatiale Saint-Jean de Lyon, à l’abbaye Saint-Ouen de Rouen et même au palais des papes en Avignon ? Quels enjeux artistiques, religieux, voire politiques expliquent ce succès à la fois imposant (plus de 860 bas-reliefs) et limité dans le temps (fin xiiie-milieu du xive siècle) ? Ouvrant des perspectives nouvelles dans le domaine de l’analyse iconographique, l’auteur conduit une véritable étude historique : la politique de prestige des grands prélats, la « mise en récit » des images sculptées au seuil des cathédrales, la culture des métamorphoses et l’incroyable inventivité des sculpteurs du Moyen Âge, le culte des saints au cœur des rivalités entre les sanctuaires...

The purpose of this book is to present the Hekatompedon Inscription at Athens ( IG I³ 4) as a major monument of Greek art, legitimately on a par with more famous landmarks of the Greek aesthetic tradition like the Parthenon Frieze. Inscribed most probably in the middle of the decade that saw the Greek response to the Persian invasion, the Hekatompedon Inscription has long been recognized for its historical and religious importance. This study looks at the inscription on its own terms: the unique fusion of its visual and textual content in that most Greek of epigraphical layouts, the stoikhedon style. Such an approach leads to the question of origins: where and why was the stoikhedon style formulated and where does the Hekatompedon Inscription stand in that development? Egypt’s influential system of proportions and use of grids will be considered determinative for the very first time.

"Lost in Egypt's honeycombed hills, distanced by its western desert, or rendered inaccessible by subsequent urban occupation, the monumental decorated tombs of the Graeco-Roman period have received little scholarly attention. By the early first decade of the twenty-first century none had been subjected to critical analysis or interpretation, and most had largely been ignored. This volume serves to redress this deficiency. It explores the narrative pictorial programs of a group of decorated tombs from Ptolemaic and Roman-period Egypt (ca. 300 BCE - 250 CE). Its aim is to recognize the tombs' commonalities and differences across ethnic divides and to determine the rationale that lies behind these connections and dissonances, as it sets the tomb programs within their social, political, and religious context and analyzes the manner in which the multicultural population of Graeco-Roman Egypt chose to negotiate death and the afterlife"--
