A Medieval Cabinet of Curiosities

"'A Medieval Cabinet of Curiosities offers a fresh perspective on the Middle Ages which challenges traditional interpretation of museums and collecting, revealing the vibrant intellectual curiosity that characterized the period. This book is perfect for 'dipping in' when reading time is limited - and I can guarantee you'll discover something intriguing and thought provoking.'"

"'Overall, I found this quite a fascinating read. Chevalier is extremely knowledgeable about medieval Europe and these artifacts, no matter how obscure. If you want a book that tells the stories of medieval Europe through the trinkets left behind, I recommend you read "A Medieval Cabinet of Curiosities" by Lorris Chevalier.'"
