A 'misericord' is a small wooden shelf on the underside of a folding seat in a church, installed to provide a degree of comfort for a person who has to stand during long periods of prayer. This book contains a detailed collection of examples of wooden misericords, complete with descriptions, historical information, and detailed photographs. A book that is sure to be of value to the woodworker and those interested in ecclesiastical decoration, this text is not to be missed by the discerning collector.
