ISBN 0901897191 "Externally, the Fishermen's Chapel is a plain, rectangular structure with no sign of ornamentation or suggestion of the glory that it holds within. But once inside, the visitor is confronted with an experience of unparalleled delight: the walls and the stone-vaulted ceiling are covered with Old and New Tes tament scenes, executed in bright colours. For more than six hundred years these medieval paintings have survived the ravages of time and man, and although they are now far from complete, their impact is nevertheless stunning: the message they co n v eyed to medieval worshippers is still there to be read today. Between 1982 and 1988, an integrated programme of research and investigation, conservation and repair, refurbishment and revitalization, took place with an interdisciplinary and inte rn at ionally recruited team. The results of their findings have now been distilled and are presented in this volume."

Light wrinkling at top/bottom of spine, very light soiling mark in margin of page 125. Dust jacket has light rubb ing, one tiny edge tear, tiny dint on spine. VG+/VG
