The view of the cathedral has influenced those who have restored it's interior in the 18th. and 19th. centuries and continues to dominate our 20th. century perceptions. As recent research begins to elucidate a structural history that is more complex and intriguing than has often been realised, this book demonstrates that the decoration of the cathedral's interior has an equally rich and complicated lineage.* This is a FINE copy of the 1st./1st. with no visible faults AS NEW.* 0
