The Coronation Chair and the Stone of Scone See Page 31 Warwick Rodwell (Author) Constructed in 1297−1300 for King Edward I, the Coronation Chair ranks amongst the most remarkable and precious treasures to have survived from the Middle Ages. It incorporated in its seat a block of sandstone, which the king seized at Scone, following his victory over the Scots in 1296. For centuries, Scottish kings had been inaugurated on this symbolic ‘Stone of Scone’, to which a copious mythology had also become attached. Edward I presented the Chair, as a holy relic, to the Shrine of St Edward the Confessor in Westminster Abbey, and most English monarchs since the fourteenth century have been crowned in it, the last being HM Queen Elizabeth II, in 1953. 9781782971528, £28.00, June 2013 HB, Oxbow Books Celtic from the West 2 Rethinking the Bronze Age and the Arrival of Indo- European in Atlantic Europe Barry Cunliffe (Editor) John T Koch (Editor) The Cyrus Cylinder and Ancient Persia A New Beginning for the Middle East Irving Finkel (Translator); John Curtis (Author); Neil MacGregor (Author) Welcome Until recently the idea that Atlantic Europe was a wholly pre-Indo-European world throughout the Bronze Age remained plausible. Celtic from the West 2 explores the rapidly expanding evidence for the later prehistory and the pre-Roman languages of the West increasingly exclude that possibility. 9781842175293, £40.00, January 2013 HB, Oxbow Books See Page 10 The Cyrus Cylinder is one of the most famous objects to have survived from the ancient world. Often described as the first bill of human rights this catalogue also contains sixteen other objects from the Britsh Museum’s collecton. 9780714111872, £18.99, April 2013 HB, 144p, 110 col illus., British Museum Press See Page 18 Cover Image: Late Bronze Age shale vessel from Caergwrle, north Wales, with applied tin and gold, representing a ship, shields, oars, and waves, by kind permission of the National Museum of Wales.
