Reviews

'In addition to the importance of the material and the biography of the objects, including the craftsmanship, the results regarding the response of the ivories to the artists and buyers of the time and the changing devotional practices are of great interest. Gu�rin's work provides a scientific as well as methodological foundation upon which future ivory research must build.' Manuela Studer-Karlen, Sehepunkte (translated from German)
