Bibliography of Art and Architecture in the Islamic World (2 Vol. Set)
Following the tradition and style of the acclaimed Index Islamicus, the editors have created this new Bibliography of Art and Architecture in the Islamic World. The editors have surveyed and annotated a wide range of books and articles from collected volumes and journals published in all European languages (except Turkish) between 1906 and 2011. This comprehensive bibliography is an indispensable tool for everyone involved in the study of material culture in Muslim societies.
A Sense of the Sacred
This incomparable volume presents a comprehensive exploration and explanation of medieval liturgical celebrations. The reverent prayers, hymns and rubrics used in the Middle Ages are described in detail and interpreted through the commentary of scholars from the same time period, the era which is also known as the "Age of Faith". Collected here is a wide range of ceremonies, encompassing the seven sacraments, the major feasts of the liturgical year (such as Christmas, Easter, and Corpus Christi), and special liturgical rites (from the coronation of the pope to the blessing of expectant mothers). The sacred celebrations have been drawn from countries across western and central Europe-from Portugal to Poland-but particular attention has been given to liturgical texts of medieval Spain, which until now have received relatively little attention from scholars. Historian James Monti has done exhaustive research on medieval liturgical manuscripts, early printed missals, and the writings of medieval liturgists and theologians so that the treasures they contain can inspire a sense of the sacred in future generations of Catholics.
From Colonies to Countries in the North Caribbean
This volume brings together eight essays that address the result of a research project involving a group of international scholars. It explores a little-discussed, yet interesting phenomenon in the Caribbean and Gulf of Mexico region – how military engineers reshaped the physical landscape for imperial reasons and, in doing so, laid the foundations for broader colonial development. Moreover, this transnational scenario reveals how military construction reached beyond cross-borders themes and histories from the age of imperialism. As such, this book provides valuable insights into the role of military engineers in the process of articulating new American countries from the late 18th to 19th...

Cervantes’ Architectures
Cervantes’ Architectures is the first book dedicated to architecture in Cervantes’ prose fiction. At a time when a pandemic is sweeping the world, this book reflects on the danger outside by concentrating on the role of enclosed structures as places where humans may feel safe, or as sites of beauty and harmony that provide solace. At the same time, a number of the architectures in Cervantes trigger dread and claustrophobia as they display a kind of shapelessness and a haunting aura that blends with the narrative. This volume invites readers to discover hundreds of edifices that Cervantes built with the pen. Their variety is astounding. The narrators and characters in these novels tell of...

Art and Faith in Tridentine Spain, 1545-1690
By providing precise and accurate examples placed and scrutinized in their historical context, Art and Faith in Tridentine Spain (1545-1690) explains how painting, sculpture, and sacred space were able to convey and accomplish the dogmatic decisions and the spiritual message of the Council of Trent. Beyond the Decree on the Holy Images, it is to the letter and to the spirit of all dogmatic Canons that post-Council art refers. From the 1500s to the 1680s Counter-Reformist art became a valuable and effective arm of the Church of Rome.
The Prado
Nowhere else can one find so many works by El Greco, Velázquez, Zurbarán, Murillo and Goya. The works of Hieronymous Bosch are unsurpassed in any other gallery, the Titian collection is vast and Rubens' development is particularly well represented. The n
Murillo y su estela en Sevilla
"Uno de los aspectos más necesitados de investigación y revisión es precisamente el de los discípulos de Murillo. Tanto Diego Angulo como Enrique Valdivieso han señalado en sus respectivos catálogos razonados que es precisamente en los discípulos de Murillo como Pedro Núñez de Villavicencio, Juan Simón Gutiérrez, Sebastián Gómez 'el mulato', Francisco Meneses Osorio, Esteban Márquez y en el XVIII Ruiz Soriano, Domingo Martínez hasta Juan de Espinal donde todavía perduran los ecos del murillismo. Estudiar con rigor y con un discurso nuevo, absolutamente renovador, la perduración de los modelos murillescos y el funcionamiento de la academia sevillana, es una de las asignaturas pendientes de la investigación histórico-artística. Sería una ocasión única para arrojar luz a este complicado mundo que está virtualmente inédito."--publisher's description.
