From this review in the New York Sun, which contrasts nicely with the recent negative reference to the Dark Ages courtesy of Charlotte Allen, I have learned of this new book by Peter Wells on the early Middle Ages: Barbarians to Angels: The Dark Ages Reconsidered
I must confess that I am unfamiliar with Professor Wells’ scholarship, but I assume that it tends toward the popular.
Please note that you can find the link to Michael Shamansky’s website to the right, under New Publications. I will link to Amazon if they carry the book; otherwise, I will link to the publisher’s page.

(The exhibition is already over, but check out its website, which presents some useful downloads, and the virtual museum, which includes some great images, including the various reconstructions of the Salerno Ivories).

Please permit me to announce a new website that I have just today inaugurated. It also aims to provide teaching resources, but for all the ancient and medieval civilizations covered by the first part of the traditional two-part art history survey. Although it will not penetrate any one period as deeply as this website does the early Middle Ages, it will serve much the same purpose. On this new site, I will, however, show ads. Please forgive me this necessity. I will, however, keep this one pure, at least for the time being.

My research centers around the Monastery of Saint John in Muestair (CH), and my dissertation was the third completed on the church. Marese Sennhauser-Girard wrote the first at the University of Basel in 1959. In mine I wrote, “although Sennhauser-Girard has continued to develop her interpretation for the last five decades, she has published few of her ideas and has no such plans for the immediate future.”
Most happily I have been proven wrong, for Dr. Sennhauser has started a blog - Al-Fresko - on which she finally publishes her work. She began in October 2006 and her most recent post dates to November 2007. We must hope that she will return to posting. Dr. Sennhauser has studied the frescoes for more than half-a-century, and it would be a shame for her not to share all of her insights!
Stumble it!
