Abstract
From Minor to Major: The Minor Arts in Medieval Art History is a collection of sixteen essays on subjects traditionally considered ‘minor’ or ‘decorative’ in the history of art, from coins to tapestries. The authors tackle the historiography of the discipline and of their own material, as well as offering new readings and approaches and pointing up areas for further research.
