Tree of Jesse

In this issue of The Antiquary, the articles range in scope from medieval Wales to the vanities of early modern European fashion. We begin at Abergavenny Priory, the so-called ‘Westminster Abbey of Wales,’ where we explore an extraordinary building with one of the richest collections of funerary monuments in Britain. From there, we focus on the priory’s greatest treasure: a monumental wooden figure of Jesse, which was once a part of a vast ensemble. We look at the context of this image and the popularity and meaning of Jesse Trees. Finally, we exchange the sublime for the ridiculous, tracing the rise and fall of the male periwig in Western Europe during the seventeenth and eighteenth century – a surprisingly fascinating story of how fashion disseminates and trends rise and fall, and of extravagance and conservatism.
