Seeable Signs The Iconography of the Seven Sacraments, 1350-1544

" ...[Nichols] provides the best and most comprehensive account to date of the theology and practice of the sacraments, and their representation in all media, in the later Middle Ages. She brings to her work a thorough grasp of late-medieval sacremental theology and liturgy, a polyglot knowledge of the literature on sacramental art, and a microscopic eye for significant visual detail. This is far more than an exercise in regional iconography: anyone, for example, wanting to know just what items of belief were most insisted on in the catechetical practice of the medieval Church of England will find, in Chapter Three of Seeable Signs, the best account in print of its teaching programme in the fourteeth and fifteenth centuries."Nichols, Ann Eljenholm is the author of 'Seeable Signs The Iconography of the Seven Sacraments, 1350-1544' with ISBN 9780851153421 and ISBN 0851153429.
