Melrose Abbey

Edición de la obra MELROSE ABBEY

"The Cistercian abbey of Melrose is perhaps the most beautiful of all Scottish monasteries. This first account for 50 years, by an architectural historian and a medieval historian, draws on archaeological, architectural and documentary evidence to show the nature of the monastic life, how the abbey's great estates were administered, and why the architecture of the abbey church is the most important illustration of late Gothic architecture in Scotland."--BOOK JACKET.
