Essays published in this title are culled from a 2003 meeting of the British Archaeological Association convened in Mainz, Germany. Topics include the archaeological and architectural research at the Carolingian monastery of Lorsch, current research at the Imperial cathedrals of Speyer, Mainz, and Worms, the abbey church of Eberbach and the idea of a "Bernadine" Cistercian architecture; the choir screen at Mainz and the Master of Naumberg, the tombs of the Archbishops of Mainz, painting in Mainz in the period of the International Style, medieval inscriptions on the Mainz and Oppenheim area, and the Wernerkapelle in Bacharach. As befitting the Association and the publishers, the academics in this title are well researched and presented; these essays will undoubtedly add much to the field.
