This edition makes more widely available the handbook of descriptive reference that accompanies each volume of the corpus. To meet the demands of the first comprehensive catalogue of Anglo-Saxon stone sculpture, Professor Cramp, the series editor, has devised a new system of description capable of dealing with the complex ornament of the material. As well as classifying forms, shapes and decoration, she also discusses techniques of carving, dating methods and epigraphy. The extensive use of line drawings to illustrate each point makes this a useful and compact reference tool for anyone interested in early medieval art and design.
