The volume is well illustrated, though there are just eight colour plates. Of greater significance, Brepols has become of increasing importance in our field of study, and yet its pricing model is such that even libraries must now baulk.

{"title":"Notre-Dame of Amiens: Life of the Gothic Cathedral.","authors":"Zachary Stewart","doi":"10.1080/00681288.2021.1965331","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1080/00681288.2021.1965331","url":null,"abstract":"Well over a century ago, Eug ene Lef evre-Pontalis published a ground-breaking guide for prospective authors of medieval church monographs, outlining a series of organisational, terminological and illustrative principles that continue to characterise the genre into the present day. While conceding there could be no substitute for the on-site explication of architectural conditions — a claim that attendees of the BAA’s annual conferences would be hard-pressed to contest — the eminent French archaeologist argued that there did exist numerous techniques for rendering a written account of a church ‘clear and interesting’ (claire et int eressante). At the level of substance, he recommended alternating between small-scale analysis and large-scale comparison, beginning with a section on historical context and concluding with sections on fittings and furnishings. At the level of style, he recommended proceeding through the building in a systematic fashion (west to east, bottom to top, inside to outside), employing technical terminology and enlisting professional photography. Only by implementing such practices, Lef evre-Pontalis contended, might an aspiring scholar be considered a practitioner of ‘the new archaeological method’ (la nouvelle m ethode arch eologique). Stephen Murray’s latest book on Amiens Cathedral, the publication of which marks the 800th anniversary of the building’s foundation, represents a quiet referendum on this enduring approach to the study of medieval churches. Murray is a well-known authority on what has long been celebrated as a seminal achievement in the history of Gothic architecture (he was made an honorary citizen of Amiens in 1998 and an honorary doctor of the University of Picardy, Jules Verne, in 2019). Two of his earlier books anticipate the present work. The first, NotreDame, Cathedral of Amiens: The Power of Change in Gothic (Cambridge 1996), delivered a boldly revisionist account of the construction of the edifice between c. 1220 and c. 1270. The second, A Gothic Sermon: Making a Contract with the Mother of God, Saint Mary of Amiens (Berkeley 2004), mobilised a local mid13th-century sermon text to analyse issues of production, reception and meaning. Many of the findings delineated in these pioneering studies recur here. But the new book expands on its predecessors by extending their chronological, spatial and social parameters — tactics that reflect the subtitle’s stated aim of presenting a more comprehensive ‘life’ of the famous building. The resulting work is organised into six chapters bookended by a prologue and an epilogue. The prologue opens with a provocative question: ‘How can we hope to create a written structure to match the cathedral’ (p. 1)? Murray, citing decades of teaching experience, recommends a ‘Socratic method’ in which the specialist (‘interlocuter’) employs a form of ekphrasis conceptualised less in terms of the agency of the author-subject and more in terms of the agency of the buildingobject (p","PeriodicalId":42723,"journal":{"name":"Journal of the British Archaeological Association","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.5,"publicationDate":"2021-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46593822","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"历史学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The monument takes the unusual form of a Tree of Jesse while the walls carry a series of sculptural reliefs depicting scenes from the Life of the Virgin. It is argued that the space was a Lady chapel housing a chantry, and that the sculpture draws on imagery associated with the liturgy of the Mass and the liturgical hours to create an integrated devotional and commemorative programme of benefit to patrons and parishioners alike. The patrons have been traditionally identified as members of the Dyve family, long-standing proprietors of Ducklington manor until the mid-14th century. The connection is fully explored for the first time, drawing on antiquarian accounts of lost stained glass. Martha, widow of Henry Dyve (d. 1327) who held the manor in dower, is proposed as the likely originator of the monument.","PeriodicalId":42723,"journal":{"name":"Journal of the British Archaeological Association","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.5,"publicationDate":"2021-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"49170507","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"历史学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

{"title":"In the Northern Cemetery of Roman London. Excavations at Spitalfields Market, London E1, 1991–2007.","authors":"M. Henig","doi":"10.1080/00681288.2021.1965327","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1080/00681288.2021.1965327","url":null,"abstract":"This volume is one of three reports on excavations at Spitalfields Market, to the north-east of the historic City of London. The others describe the medieval priory and hospital of St Mary Spital, and the post-medieval developments on the site. These later uses of the area have meant that in some areas, for example on the street frontage of Bishopsgate, the Roman layers have been lost through medieval quarrying, while elsewhere grave cuts have been truncated and so none of them retain traces of surface markers, if they ever existed. The cemeteries of Londinium, as at other Roman cities, were spaced along the roads leading out of the pomerium, to the west, the east, south of the Thames (Southwark) and here to the north along Bishopsgate (Ermine Street). The cemetery came into use only late in the 1st century but continued until the end of the 4th century, and this report describes 169 inhumations and five cremations surviving or partially surviving from the area. As one might have expected from MOLA, the excavation was meticulous in execution for what must have been a difficult site, and the report is of the very highest standard. All concerned deserve our gratitude. After a general introduction describing the excavation, there follow chapters detailing the archaeological sequence, describing the interments as excavated, discussing funerary and burial practice, analysing grave goods and assessing what the bones of the people tell us about demography, health, disease and trauma. After a concluding section, a catalogue of the individual burials (with their associated finds when present) allows the reader to revisit what has been discussed in previous chapters in a far more focused way. Finally, there are specialist appendices, at least one of which (see below) is of extraordinary interest. Different readers will find particular points of interest, but each of the sections adds something valuable to our knowledge of Roman London and its heterogeneous and cosmopolitan population. The organisation of the graves themselves, probably originally set out within enclosures to the east of Bishopsgate, are almost all laid west to east, at right angles to the line of the road or of enclosure boundaries (p. 62). However, as the authors admit, cultural and religious factors must have been involved. There is no evidence for Christianity in this cemetery, even in the 4th century and, in any case, many of the graves are too early, but perhaps","PeriodicalId":42723,"journal":{"name":"Journal of the British Archaeological Association","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.5,"publicationDate":"2021-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"41969137","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"历史学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
