ces of basilican naves presented a compositional challenge, though it was one which pales when compared with the challenge of maintaining narrative continuity over undulating and articulated surfaces. This is made easier to recognise by the high quality of the illustrations used throughout the volume, and those involved in the production of the book are to be commended for the decision to reproduce the superb, rectified double-page colour photographs of the nave elevations of the Cappella Palatina in Palermo. One awaits the companion volume on Saint-Savin with high expectations.
