Zarnecki was Slade Professor of Fine Arts at Oxford, and was with the Courtauld Institute of Art of the University of London. "No individual can examine all the works of art mention3ed in this book, and so, in many cases I have had to content myself with the testimony of others and with the study of photographs and reproductions. However, the aim of this book is not the discoery of new facts, but an assesesment of the general lines of development in Christian art from the time of Constantine the Great to the fourteenth century, when new artistic ideas evolved in Italy, were to revolutionize the traditions of the medieval world - Author's Foreword."

About Thomas J. Joyce And Company
Joyce And Company has been in business as a professional rare bookseller and appraiser since 1975. Owner Thomas Joyce was the regular book appraiser on Home & Garden TV\'s \"The Appraisal Fair\\\" program, on international broadcasts. Thomas Joyce was the co-discoverer of George Washington's personal copy of William Leybourn's 1679 edition of THE COMPLEAT SURVEYOR, from which young Washington learned some of his surveying skills at age 16. The book had vanished for nearly a century until its re-discovery in 2017. It is now back at Mt. Vernon.
