"English misericords have their own distinctive style and express a particular sense of humour. Intended as antidotes to the rigorous celibate life of monks, who were themselves often satirized in them, misericords frequently contain bawdy subject-matter and portray scenes more explicit in their depiction of the 'unmentionable' than the carvings of capitals and the marginal decorations of illuminated manuscripts.Fully illustrated with new, specially commissioned photographs and with a map giving the location of all misericords mentioned." 27.5cms x 21cms. Pp.192, 272figure illustrations + map. Paperback. VG.
