[Rarebooks] FS: Ancient Roman & Medieval Glass -Wolf Collection

[Joslin Hall Rare Books]

TITLE: "Roman, Byzantine and Early Medieval Glass, 10 BCE to 700 CE.
Ernesto Wolf Collection"

By E. Marianne Stern.
Published in Ostfildern-Ruit by Hatje Cantz in 2001.

DISCUSSION: "Far more rare than the ceramic, stone, and metal artifacts of
ancient peoples that are the staple of archaeological museums, glassware
also has a long history in Western civilization. The revolutionary Roman
invention of the glassblowing iron in the 1st century BC made it possible
to produce large numbers of light, thin-walled glass vessels, and resulted
in an outburst of artistic creativity throughout the empire. More than 225
exquisite objects, some over 2,000 years old, are presented here in color
photographs and precise descriptions-some as delicate and beautifully
formed as fine glassware today."

DESCRIPTION: Hardcover. 10"x11", 427 pages, color and line illustrations,
dust jacket.

CONDITION NOTES: In fine, new condition.

PRICE: $60.00
