About this book
From early Egyptian and Syrian glass onward, Edward Dillon follows glassmaking as an art. Chapters cover later Greek glass, the moulded and cast glass of the Roman Empire, Roman blown glass, early Christian and Byzantine pieces, glass from Anglo-Saxon and Frankish tombs, medieval treatises, the glass of Western Europe in the later Middle Ages, and the enamelled glass of the Saracens.
The 1907 volume is illustrated, with a plate of an enamelled goblet, Venetian or Franco-Syrian, from about 1300. The preface points to the collections at the British Museum and South Kensington as the place to study the history.
