Mediaeval Sicily, aspects of life and art in the middle ages
Cecilia Waern's 1910 study of Sicilian medieval art and daily life, issued in London by Duckworth for English readers travelling or reading about Norman and Arab-Norman Sicily. Halftone photographs record church interiors, pointed arches and squat columns, carved capitals, inlaid marble panels and cosmatesque roundels, and corbel friezes of stiff acanthus leaves and heads, useful as sources for geometric pattern and architectural ornament.
