As an architect he was chiefly involved, from at least 1816, with the restoration of Romanesque and Gothic buildings in Germany and in the design of new buildings in the Neo-Gothic style that was popular there throughout the nineteenth century. (Since the 1770s the Gothic style had been considered peculiarly, nationalistically German, and the Romantics had celebrated things medieval as a patriotic contrast to the Italian-and French-inspired Baroque, Rococo and Neo-Classical styles that had immediately preceded.) Heideloffs center of operations was Nuremberg, where for some three decades he was curator of municipal art monuments and instructor at the Polytechnic. Among Heideloff’s numerous publications, the present collection of 200 copperplate engravings (apparently all drawn by him, although engraved by several hands) is outstanding, but rather hard to date (all encyclopedia references we have seen are obviously wrong if the dates engraved on the plates are to be trusted). The source of this Dover edition is a two-volume set titled Carl Heideloff’s Ornamentik des Mittelalters: 200 Kupfertafeln mit erklärendem Text [Carl Heideloffs Ornament of the Middle Ages: 200 Copperplates with Explanatory Text], published in Nuremberg by C. Geiger without a printed date. There is no introductory text, only several pages of descriptions of the plates, which were obviously written by someone other than Heideloff, and which read in several places as though he were already dead (although he died ten years later than the last date engraved on any plate). From the numbering of the plates (which corresponds to the printed descriptions), they were originally issued in 25 groups of eight (Heft I, Pl. 1–8, through Heft XXV, Pl. 1–8); in the present edition, they have been renumbered consecutively from 1 through 200. The engraved dates that appear sporadically on the plates indicate that, with a handful of slight anomalies, the plates are numbered in the sequence of their being engraved; they also indicate lapses of time here and there. Plate 5 (the Dover numbers are here used) is dated 1837;

Description:
The decorative arts of the Middle Ages — richly ornate, filled with religious and mythic symbolism — were especially remarkable for the complexities of their design and their inspired craftsmanship. This fascinating volume presents nearly 1,000 illustrations of medieval ornament, consisting most
