Synopsis:
The Bayeux Tapestry is one of the most numinous monuments of European history. This unique embroidery is one of the most interesting and reliable sources on the telling of the events which lead up to the Norman Conquest and the Battle of Hastings in text and picture. It is presented with lively imagination and an originality which still teases the eye and adds enlightenment to the most traumatic events in English history. A running text in simple Latin identifies the various scenes.
The purpose of this book is to produce a complete color reproduction of the Tapestry to the highest present-day standards and to summarize the state of knowledge concerning it. The book is avowedly synthetic, particularly as the notes and record photographs taken by the Sous-Direction des Monuments Historiques at the time of the re-hanging in 1982 have not yet been made publicly available.
About the Author: David MacKenzie Wilson is a British archaeologist, art historian, and museum curator.
