Studies in Medieval Stained Glass and Monasticism

Lillch discusses all aspects of stained glass produced in France during the Gothic era. As well as analysing the iconography, style and hagiography of these major works of art, Lillich also considers glaziers, specific glazing techniques, grisaille and displaced panels. The papers study regional traditions, such as in Normandy, Aquitaine, Lorraine and Champagne, and the significant developments in stained glass during the late Capetian period.Table of ContentsIntroduction Gothic Glaziers: Monks, Jews, Taxpayers, Bretons, Women European Stained Glass around 1300: The Introduction of Silver Stain The Band Window: A Theory of Origin and Development Three Essays on French Thirteenth Century Grisaille Glass A Redating of the Thirteenth-century Grisaille Windows of Chartres Cathedral An Early Image of St. Louis The Ex-Voto Window at St.-Gengoult, Toul Observations on the Gothic Rose Window with Centripetal Tracery The Monumental Program of the Green Rose of Châlons Cathedral St. Memmie, Bishop of Châlons, and Other Bishop Saints in the Gothic Windows of Châlons Cathedral Remembrance of Things Past: Stained Glass Spolia at Châlons Cathedral More Stained Glass Spolia at Châlons Cathedral Monastic Stained Glass: Patronage and Style Cleanliness with Godliness: A Discussion of Medieval Monastic Plumbing Recent Scholarship Concerning Cistercian Windows Stained Glass from Western France (1250-1325) in American Collections Les vitraux de la cathédrale de Sées a Los Angeles et dans d'autres musées américains A Stained Glass Apostle from Sées Cathedral (Normandy) in the Victoria and Albert Museum Bishops from Evron Découverte d'un vitrail perdu de Saint-Père de Chartres Notes Index Read more
