N2  - This volume provides a thorough overview of the University Museum of Bergen’s church art collection, including introductory articles about the museum and its history preceding an annotated catalogue with numerous photographs and other visual materials, e.g., archaeological site plans and sketches of objects in larger spatial contexts (figures are not numbered but the collection presented here totals 100 objects). As a local and regional institution, the University Museum of Bergen holds objects found primarily in western Norway, but also from as far afield as Trøndelag and Nordland; because of the unavoidably connected nature of ecclesiastical art, however, the authors situate the collection in its wider context of Christian material, liturgical, and ritual culture, revealing influences and networks with connections to workshops in Germany and as distant as the Mediterranean.
