The concept of demonstrating princely power and wealth through a treasury - a logical extension of the great ecclesiastical treasuries that saw their beginning in Byzantium, was rapidly taken up in Northern Europe. These treasuries, many of which still exist, also incorporated scientific instruments as well as natural wonders gathered from the four corners of the earth. This beautifully illustrated book not only shows some of the finest pieces from collections still intact, but also re-assembles some of those now sadly dispersed. A rich and rewarding study.
