From "aarhat" to "zwischengoldgläser" and "isodome", this Dictionary is the essential tool for familiarizing yourself, thanks to simple and precise definitions, with the terms of art and archaeology. Jacques Girard is interested in all manifestations and forms of art, both in its productions (ceramics, fabrics, sculpture, painting, weapons, goldsmithing, musical instruments, etc.), in its places and periods (China, pre-Columbian America, Greece, Islamic countries, modern art), and in its techniques and decorations (architectural forms, carpets, book art, enamels, etc.). With more than 7,000 entries and 800 illustrations, this is a veritable mine of clear and detailed information for any art lover, collector, and, more generally, for anyone curious.
