About this series

Stained glass is a major form of medieval art, and provides the most immediately attractive aspect of many monuments. The Corpus Vitrearum is publishing a series of comprehensive, fully illustrated catalogues of medieval window glass.

The illustrations allow the study of details that are often difficult to examine in situ, and colour plates capture the full palette of the original glass. Commentaries describe the condition of the glass, technique and iconography.

The Academy's series forms part of an international Corpus sponsored by the Union Académique Internationale.

The British committee is chaired by Sarah Brown, English Heritage.

Volumes are published by Oxford University Press.

Some older volumes are available from Oxbow Books.
