Roman, Byzantine and Early Medieval Glass

by Hatje Cantz 

The Ernesto Wolf collection has over 200 pieces of glass from 10 BCE to 700 CE and each of them is shown beautifully photographed in color.  On some items, line drawings are included, to show detail not readily apparent in the photos.  Each section begins with a discussion of the techniques available and the glass industry in that time period.  The types of objects are discussed followed by the pictures.  There is a very useful glossary, explaining technical terms.  The variety of items is wonderful, including flasks, jars, beads, bowls and bottles in many colors and with all sorts of decorations.
