Reassessing the Roles of Women as 'Makers' of Medieval Art and Architecture
These volumes propose a renewed way of framing the debate around the history of medieval art and architecture to highlight the multiple roles played by women. Today’s standard division of artist from patron is not seen in medieval inscriptions—on paintings, metalwork, embroideries, or buildings—where the most common verb is 'made' (fecit). At times this denotes the individual whose hands produced the work, but it can equally refer to the person whose donation made the undertaking possible. Here twenty-four scholars examine secular and religious art from across medieval Europe to demonstrate that a range of studies is of interest not just for a particular time and place but because, fro...
Pedralbes a l'edat mitjana
Una visió apassionant dels orígens i l'evolució al llarg de l'edat mitjana de la comunitat de clarisses del monestir de Pedralbes, inaugurat al maig de 1327 per la reina Elisenda de Montcada. L'arxiu riquíssim i quasi inexplorat que conserva l'actual comunitat permet conèixer qui eren aquelles dones que es van consagrar a Déu, com era la seva vida dins el clos del monestir, quins lligams van sostenir amb la societat del seu entorn i què en pensava la societat.
Women in Convent Spaces and the Music Networks of Early Modern Barcelona
This book presents the first study of music in convent life in a single Hispanic city, Barcelona, during the early modern era. Exploring how convents were involved in the musical networks operating in sixteenth-century Barcelona, it challenges the invisibility of women in music history and reveals the intrinsic role played by nuns and lay women in the city’s urban musical culture. Drawing on a wide range of archival sources, this innovative study offers a cross-disciplinary approach that not only reveals details of the rich musical life in Barcelona’s nunneries, but shows how they took part in wider national and transnational networks of musical distribution, including religious, commerc...
Meanings and Functions of the Ruler's Image in the Mediterranean World (11th – 15th Centuries)
(The open access version of this book has been published with the support of the Swiss National Science Foundation.) The book proposes a reassessment of royal portraiture and its function in the Middle Ages via a comparative analysis of works from different areas of the Mediterranean world, where images are seen as only one outcome of wider and multifarious strategies for the public mise-en-scène of the rulers’ bodies. Its emphasis is on the ways in which medieval monarchs in different areas of the Mediterranean constructed their outward appearance and communicated it by means of a variety of rituals, object-types, and media. Contributors are Michele Bacci, Nicolas Bock, Gerardo Boto Varela, Branislav Cvetković, Sofia Fernández Pozzo, Gohar Grigoryan Savary, Elodie Leschot, Vinni Lucherini, Ioanna Rapti, Juan Carlos Ruiz Souza, Marta Serrano-Coll, Lucinia Speciale, Manuela Studer-Karlen, Mirko Vagnoni, and Edda Vardanyan.

Grandeses i misèries de la Catalunya del segle XIV
Aquest llibre proposa reflexionar sobre la gent de l’època –segle XIV- i la seva vida quotidiana. Per aquest propòsit Montserrat Rumbau s’ha servit de les obres i escrits varis que ha consultat i que, a través d’experiències concretes, ens fan un retrat prou precís de les vivències dels individus i col·lectius d’aquest període de la nostra història. Ens proposa, doncs, aproximar-nos a aquell món medieval aparentment tan diferent del nostre per descobrir, al capdavall, tot un seguit de coincidències que afecten l’essència de la gent de llavors i d’ara. Aquesta semblança apareix en aspectes bàsics tan amplis i universals com: amor i odi, passió i enveja, traïció i companyerisme, solidaritat i agressivitat.
