A collection of material on the subject of the art of the goldsmith gathered during Redslob's fourteen years of publishing on the subject in magazines, including late Romanesque stone sculpting of portals and choir bars as well as contemporary work.

In separate chapters he writs about the Gothic, the Renaissance and the revival of ecclesiastic art and the development towards Baroque.
