Summary : Medieval stained glass windows are relatively untapped sources of information about medieval technology and production, because their architectural context usually prohibits sampling for chemical analysis. This volume presents a comprehensive study of York Minster's Great East Window (1405-1408), investigating glass-making technology and provenance, and glass-painting craft organisation. Chemical analysis relies upon established methods of elemental and isotope-ratio analysis, and development of an in-situ technique, handheld/portable x-ray fluorescence (pXRF). This volume also brings together historical documentation, art historical information, and meta-analysis of legacy data.
