What others say about this ebook:
Review 1:
On several counts this book is a valuable addition to the libraries of students of Christianity and
Renaissance Art. In the first place, it is beautifully produced: fine typography and format, the 112
full-page plates, and the 250 line drawings in the margin are all one could ask. Secondly, the
plates make the book a most valuable collection of prints of representative paintings of the
Renaissance, particularly in Italy. What makes it more important is that most of these paintings
(from the Samuel H. Kress Collection) are not to be found reproduced in the more common
anthologies of prints. Unfortunately, two weaknesses will make Ferguson's anthology less useful
than it might be. (1) There is no index of paintings or of artists. And (2) the captions for the plates
would have been far more valuable if they had been more complete -- offering, e.g., the dates of
the artists and the schools they represent.
The third excellence of the volume is that it stands alone in the English language as a guide to
the symbolism of the Christian art of the Renaissance (and of the medieval period, whence the
Renaissance got it). The scope of the signs and symbols explained is indicated by the table of
contents: Animals, Birds, and Insects; Flowers, Trees, and Plants; Earth and Sky; The Human
Body; The Old Testament; St. John the Baptist; The Virgin Mary; Jesus Christ; The Trinity, the
Madonna, and Angels; The Saints; Radiances, Letters, Colors, and Numbers; Religious Dress;
Religious Objects; Artifacts. And there is an index to the signs and symbols as well as a useful, if
not exhaustive, bibliography.
One limitation of the book should be mentioned: it isn't a scholarly book and was compiled for
somewhat popular consumption, and so it lacks the documentation which more learned readers
would like. As a consequence, one can only mutter a frustrated, "How come?" when one finds
this entry "T: This single Greek letter is explained as representing the first letter of the Greek
word 'Theos', meaning 'God.'" Obviously, and as Ferguson well knew, the first letter of the Greek
'theos' is not tau but theta; tau explains nothing here.
It is impossible to mention all the noteworthy data to be found in this un-dictionary-like
dictionary. Perhaps it is sufficient to suggest that: (1) here you will find answers to many of the
vagrant questions that have wandered by from time to time (and to many questions which never
occurred to you and should have) ; (2) this volume will help you observe more carefully both the
art of the Renaissance and the Christian ethos which produced it; and (3) all sorts of pleasant
musings lie before you when you begin to ponder such observations as that the master of the St.
Lucy legend, in a painting of "Mary, Queen of Heaven," portrays three angels with red hair and
green wings.
Review 2:
GREAT condition! I am very pleased!
Review 3:
I was so glad that this book was still in print. I bought it in the Metropolitan Museum of Art Gift
Shop
when the Paperback was first published in 1961. I still have that book--it is so worn from all the
use
it got from my many research projects, I decided to get another copy.
