I was excited to receive the book and started on it right away. Lipton has nice examples of each new set of iconography and discusses them thoroughly. The images are in black and white and somewhat difficult to make out the details, but overall it was helpful to have the images. As Lipton moved through the centuries the chapters were nicely organized, her discussions were informative, but I found them a bit too dense at times and it slowed my progress through the book. Lipton has done a great deal of research, but her observations are not always substantiated with her discussions.
At the midway point, my interest was piqued with the chapter on Chartres Cathedral. The reader is able to put themselves in the shoes of the thirteenth-century viewer as Lipton walks through portal and discusses the sculpture and stained glass throughout. In addition to the theories on Jewish iconography at Chartres and the other occurrences in medieval manuscripts in the body of the book, Lipton did an impressive amount of research and the notes at the back of the book are not to be missed.
Overall I did found myself easily distracted and at times lost in her theories. Perhaps her focus was too broad and she was trying to accomplish too much. I would not write the book off entirely though and will definitely keep it in my personal library of art historical reference books to refer to and use the notes as a great bibliographic reference.… (mehr)
