Description


“Although this volume is lavishly illustrated, it is a functional rather than a glossy production. It catalogues the hundreds of representations of the occupations of the months and signs of the zodiac–in a variety of media– found in Princeton’s Index of Christian Art. It is intended as a guide to using that huge resource for themed research. It represents an enormous undertaking and will doubtless be of great use to art historians and others seeking to explore how medieval people marked and imagined the passage of the year.”

—Kathleen Neal, Parergon
