This issue of the Brochure Series focuses on the carved stone and marble pulpits of southern Italy — among the most distinctive achievements of medieval and early Renaissance ecclesiastical art. The publication presents architectural drawings and photographs alongside descriptive commentary, examining pulpits in Campania, Apulia, and Calabria that display Byzantine, Romanesque, and early Gothic influence.
Intended for architects and students of architectural history, the Brochure Series helped disseminate knowledge of European medieval design in the late nineteenth century. This issue is a useful primary source for scholars of Italian ecclesiastical architecture and decorative arts.
