Almost every Medieval church had one or more sculptures of saints, many of which were placed on altars, in wall niches or in so-called tabernacle-altarpieces. This last category refers to three-dimensional, canopied structures, embellished with bright colours and equipped with movable wings that housed cult images of the Virgin and Child or saints. This early type of altarpiece became widespread in Europe between c.1150 and 1400. Nowadays, examples are scarce and often fragmented, overpainted and reconstructed. Most of them come from the geographical periphery of Europe and almost all of them are now without their original context, as they hang on museum walls or in churches as isolated relics. The purpose of this book, first published in 2020 as a monographic issue of Medievalia – Revista d’Estudis Medievals (a journal published by the Institut d’Estudis Medievals of the Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona) is to explore and discuss early tabernacle-altarpieces in different regions of Europe: their provenance, patronage, function, and role in popular piety.

A small panel has now been added to the oeuvre of the early Dutch painter Geertgen tot Sint Jans, active in Haarlem, Holland, in the late 15th century. Consisting of a single oak board depicting the bust of an elderly man of a type that can be identified as Saint Joseph, the piece surfaced in the collection of the Historisches Museum in Frankfurt, Germany. The panel is strongly reminiscent of Geertgen's known work, and dendrochronological evidence supports the theory that it once belonged to his triptych depicting the Adoration of the Magi in Prague (Prague Castle). The identification of this fragment may have repercussions for the ongoing debate concerning the attribution of this triptych.

The article explores the identity of the painter known as the Master of St. Veronica who was active in Cologne, Germany in the early fifteenth century. The author suggests that he was also referred to as "Meister Wilhelm" or "magister Wilhelmus" and discusses the possibility that he is the artist of a triptych owned by the monk Symon de Werd, which might be the triptych known as "Madonna of the sweet pea."
