This volume is the first systematic catalogue of the medieval Hildesheim champleve enamel, which is scattered in collections all over the world today. The products of these local workshops differ from those of the large enamel centers on the Rhine and Meuse; they reflect the local historical tradition of the religious elites in the 12th century as well as the beginning of serial production for export.


English summary: This volume for the first time systematically catalogs medieval Hildesheim email champleve scattered in collections around the world. The products from these local workshops differ from those in large centers for enamel production on the Rhine and Meuse in that they reflect the upholding of local historical tradition by religious elites in the 12th century, as well as the beginnings of mass production for export. German description: Der Band stellt erstmals die heute weltweit in Sammlungen verstreuten mittelalterlichen Hildesheimer Grubenschmelze (email champleve) systematisch katalogartig zusammen. Die Produkte dieser lokalen Werkstatten unterscheiden sich von denen der grossen Emailzentren an Rhein und Maas; sie spiegeln die ortshistorische Traditionspflege der religiosen Eliten im 12. Jh. sowie eine einsetzende Serienfabrikation fur den Export.
