1 comments about Beyond The Graven Image: A Jewish View.
- What is holy? What is not? Kochan explores the Jewish view of what constitutes idolatry, and the idea that most sanctity is temporary. Hearing is esteemed over seeing in traditional Judaism; the making of an image of a human, who shares the image of the Divine, is strictly controlled by Jewish law. The non-sanctity of matter, the implications of conferring sanctity upon images, and the importance to Judaism of iconoclasm are all discussed in a concise, readable volume.

1 comments about The World Upside-Down: English Misericords (Studies in Medieval and Early Renaissance Art History, 22).
- Pure folk art, misericords (literally, mercy seats) are little wood designs on the undersides of choir stall seats in English medieval churches. Monks had to spend hours in prayer each day, and the misericord functioned as a little ledge upon which they could rest themselves when standing. ( Kind of like leaning back against the edge of the pew while kneeling in today's churches.) The wood carvers who made them must have been allowed free rein with their imagery, because many misericords are downright racy! The range of designs is vast, from foliage to animals, real and imaginary, from common household objects to angels to green men, you rarely see 2 misericords alike. The World Upside Down is a wonderful introduction to the topic, with great info about the folklore that carvers tapped into and great photographs as well.
