$a No publication-date is carried by the title-plate; the Preface is dated 1840. In 1838 Knight refers to the present work, under a slightly different title, in his The Normans In Sicily; but it appears that, if in preparation in 1838, the work was not completed until 1840. In his text Knight suggests that it may have been through the Crusades that the 'pointed style' was introduced into Continental Europe. The plates are almost all lithographs showing exterior and interior views of buildings in Palermo, Cefalù, Traina, Messina, Catania, Maniace (Syracuse) and Monreale. Two are printed in full color. |
