The cult of the Christ Child flourished in late medieval Europe across lay and religious; as well as geographic and cultural boundaries. Depictions of Christs boyhood are found throughout popular culture; visual art; and literature. The Christ Child in Medieval Culture is the first interdisciplinary investigation of how representations of the Christ Child were conceptualized and employed in this period.The contributors to this unique volume analyse depictions of the Christ Child through a variety of frameworks; including the interplay of mortality and divinity; the medieval conceit of a suffering Christ Child; and the interrelationships between Christ and other figures; including saints and ordinary children. The Christ Child in Medieval Culture synthesizes various approaches to interpreting the cultural meaning of medieval religious imagery and illuminates the significance of its most central figure.

This book wont take you on the basics of the camera but offers a lot of advanced information that I have found very useful to really get the most of the camera.Having spend good money for the camera the least you can do is to throw in just a few more dollars to take a fuller advantage of the camera. It would be a shame to always use the camera on the standard settings when getting more professional results is just as easy (but requires knowing how).The author style is quite simple to understand with very clear explanations.4 of 4 people found the following review helpful. Fuji X-T10 Owners - Get This Book!By DrJPPOPSI purchased this book for myself and one for my son. We both have recently purchased a Fuji X-T10 and this book has been a great source of information for us. We appreciate the authors personal tips and recommendations. As with all cameras; the manuals that come with them leave much to be desired. As there are just a few guides for this camera available we highly recommend it.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. Excellent book. Comprehensive and easily understood. Very; very helpful!By R.McKI have the Fuji X-T10 and purchased this book to go along with it some six months ago. It is an excellent book at every level; with comprehensive explanations for everything; including using Wifi to upgrade your firmware; how to customize the buttons; how to get your Autofocus and manual focus to work most effectively (and easily do many of things many reviews of the the Fuji X-T10 say arent available; such as how to get your manual focus to override your autofocus on any given picture). Without this book; it would have been difficult to fully comprehend the excellence of this camera. And; as with so many cameras these days; the Fuji owners manual is very basic. Six months later; I am still occasionally using this book as a reference; or to find out yet more information about adjusting the dynamic range; or some other aspect of the camera. In short; this book has a tremendous amount of highly useful information; and will continue to be useful to you as you grow with the Fuji system. I hope to upgrade to the X-T2 soon; and Pfirstingers book of tips about that camera will be part of the purchase.
