ALLEN, J. ROMILLY - Celtic Art in Pagan and Christian TimesLondon, Bracken Books. 1993. (ISBN: 1858910757). Hard Cover, 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall. A Very Good+ unmarked copy apart from a small name to front pastedown with gold title on yellow cloth boards with VG complete dustjacket. 44 plates and 86 illustrations in the text. The book is a facsimile of J. Romilly Allen's classic 1904 edition published by Methuen, in which he attempts to form a theory as to the origin and development of Celtic art in Britain and Ireland, an art that naturally divides itself two distinct periods, the Pagan and the Christian. With exemplary reasoning he painstakingly examines evidence from a wide variety of sources and questions a number of, at that time, previously uncontested conclusions about the origins of Celtic art. A work that will appeal to both art historian and lay reader alike. B2B. Very Good/Very Good. GBP 8.00 [Appr.: EURO 9.5 US$ 10.79 | JP¥ 1569] Book number 005284is offered by:
