Dinanderie; une histoire et une description de l'œuvre d'art de mediæval en cuivre, laiton et bronze . il y a plusieurs grandes cloches d'antiquité, comme le thétode Erfurt, coulé en 1497, et pesant près de 14 tonnes ; Cologne,coulé en 1448, de 11 tonnes; Breslau, en 1507, de 11 tonnes; AndHalberstadt, en 1457, pesant près de 8 tonnes ; et pour des fins de comparaison, nous pouvons mentionner que Big Ben à Westminster 2o8 DINANDERIE pèse 14 tonnes. Aux Pays-Bas sont un grand nombre de cloches en cours de teresting, trop nombreuses à préciser ; mais les deux dans le djieche des Halles à Damme peuvent être mentionnés comme des ravages chahulés par les frères

Dinanderie; a history and description of mediæval art work in copper, brass and bronze . there are several great bells of some antiquity, as thatof Erfurt, cast in 1497, and weighing nearly 14 tons ; Cologne, cast in 1448, of 11 tons; Breslau, in 1507, of 11 tons; andHalberstadt, in 1457, weighing nearly 8 tons ; and for purposesof comparison we may mention that Big Ben at Westminster 2o8 DINANDERIE weighs 14 tons. In the Netherlands are a great many in-teresting bells, too numerous to specify ; but the two in thejieche of the Halles at Damme may be mentioned as havingbeen cast by the brothers Harlebeke, and dated 1392. Inscriptions on bells, even where the date is not given, willoften enable it to be fixed approximately, as in the case of thesecond bell in the spire of S. Mary, Chester-le-Street, Durham, of which we give a sketch (Fig. 66). It bears the followinglegend : Dominus yohannes Lumley me fecit fieri hec campana piedatur hie in honore Marie ; and as there was a Baron JohnLumley in Durham from 1405 to 1421, somewhere betweenthose years must be the date of the bell.. :0 oo o o CHAPTER XXIX TOMBS We have already in our history of the art of Dinanderie in theseveral countries dwelt at some length on the sculpture whichoften plays so important a part in the sepulchral monuments;and it only remains now to describe one or two of these morein detail, and refer to some special classes not then dealt with. The brasses to be found so abundantly in English churches, which are formed by a niello of black mastic, were no doubtof Flemish or German invention, and the brass used at firstin England for their manufacture was imported in sheets fromthe Netherlands. Perhaps because these sheets were somewhatcostly they were at first sparingly used, the figures of the effigiesand the shields of arms being cut out of the brass to their exactsize and shape, and so let into the stone backing ; whereas inthe Netherlands the whole sheet was nielloed over, and thebackground of the effi
