Zusatztext

This volume, as well as other volumes in the Corpus Vitrearum Summary Catalogue series, deserves to be placed in every local library and in every tourist office in West Yorkshire. The work is a quintessential example of dedicated scholarship by individuals animated by the love of a past whose values, they are convinced, can animate the present.
