Choir Stalls and Their Carvings: Examples of Misericords from English Cathedrals and Churches is a book written by Emma Phipson in 1896. The book is a detailed exploration of the intricate carvings found on the choir stalls of various English cathedrals and churches, specifically focusing on the misericords. These are small wooden seats that fold up to provide support for the standing choir members during long services. Phipson's book provides a comprehensive overview of the history, design, and symbolism of these carvings, which often depict scenes from the Bible, mythology, or everyday life. The book features numerous illustrations and photographs of the misericords, along with detailed descriptions of their significance and artistic value. The book is a valuable resource for art historians, theologians, and anyone interested in the history and culture of medieval England. It provides a fascinating glimpse into the intricate craftsmanship and religious symbolism of these often-overlooked works of art.With An Introduction And Descriptive Notes.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
