5.0 out of 5 stars An essental for the understanding of pre-renaissance art tec, 11 Dec 2000

By A Customer

For those intrested in the technology of pre renissnce art this book in a facinating must. While giving standard technacal information (admitaly often with out any form of mesurment) it is also littered with 12th-century folk lore or fact such as "tools are made harder buy hardening them in the urine of a small red-headed boy". I must admit as of yet I had not tested this.

I was facenated and inspird by the section on the making of pigments and enamamelling.

5.0 out of 5 stars A compulsory read, 20 May 2008

By	Middle aged spread "when I was a boy" (ipswich, suffolk United Kingdom) - See all my reviews

If you are interested in medieval technology, you wont find many more books which offer such an insight.

Roger of Helmerhausen (Theophilus) was a true polymath.
