ROSSLYN TREASURY, A STORIES AND LEGENDS FROM ROSSLYN CHAPEL

C2009 VERY GOOD SOFTCOVER, LIGHT WEAR FLORIS BOOKS [SNOW, P.L.] COLOR PHOTOS INSIDE STORIES AND LEGENDS FROM ROSSLYN CHAPEL

From Publisher:

Rosslyn Chapel, eight miles south of Edinburgh, Scotland, has captured the imagination of many in recent years. This extraordinary building, dating from the fifteenth century, has long been a place of pilgrimage for people with widely differing interests, whether historical, architectural or spiritual.

P.L. Snow has for many years been gathering the stories that are represented by the numerous carvings inside and outside the chapel building. Many of the carvings, eroded by the years or damaged by vandalism during the Reformation, have been lovingly restored over time. They are eloquent illustrations of the biblical, historical and legendary tales that they represent.

This book traces themes of transformation and metamorphosis through inward endeavor, and will be fascinating for anyone interested in stories from the beginnings of the world, Ancient Egypt, the Holy Land, Celtic myth and Scottish history.
