For a long time, the field of Medieval Studies began and ended in Europe. In the past few years, medieval historians and art historians have responded to the ‘global turn’ by moving away from a Euro-centric approach and looking at material culture without geo-political and cultural blinkers. This magazine itself stands as a shining example of such an outlook. by Jill Caskey, Adam S. Cohen, and Linda Safran makes a vital and engrossing addition to a growing number of publications that aim to reveal the visual and material culture in the medieval period on a global scale. It does so with ambition, verve, and clarity.
