The Baptistery of Pisa is one of the great monuments of Italian medieval architecture. The ambitious scale of the building, its profuse decoration and the high quality of its execution render it one of the major building projects of the 12th and 13th centuries. This book provides a comprehensive study of the Baptistery in regard to primary sources, chronology, style, iconography, function, and meaning.
