Theophilus and the Theory and Practice of Medieval Art
In this study of the rare twelfth-century treatise On Diverse Arts, Heidi C. Gearhart explores the unique system of values that guided artists of the High Middle Ages as they created their works. Written in northern Germany by a monk known only by the pseudonym Theophilus, On Diverse Arts is the only known complete tract on art to survive from the period. It contains three books, each with a richly religious prologue, describing the arts of painting, glass, and metalwork. Gearhart places this one-of-a-kind treatise in context alongside works by other monastic and literary thinkers of the time and presents a new reading of the text itself. Examining the earliest manuscripts, she reveals a car...
Romanesque Tomb Effigies
Framed by evocative inscriptions, tumultuous historical events, and the ambiguities of Christian death, Romanesque tomb effigies were the first large-scale figural monuments for the departed in European art. In this book, Shirin Fozi explores these provocative markers of life and death, establishing early tomb figures as a coherent genre that hinged upon histories of failure and frustrated ambition. In sharp contrast to later recumbent funerary figures, none of the known European tomb effigies made before circa 1180 were commissioned by the people they represented, and all of the identifiable examples of these tombs were dedicated to individuals whose legacies were fraught rather than triump...

Museum Buildings
Museums are architectural trend-setters. Culture sponsoring and their increasing role as tourist attractions are guarantees for an ongoing boom in museum construction. A tradition and typology developed over the centuries, the experience gained in recent decades and cutting-edge technology all contribute to the practice of modern day museum building. History and form, site development, floor plan, air-conditioning and climate technology are just some examples of the subjects treated systematically in the first section of this design manual. Some 70 international museum case-studies exemplify solutions and emphasize specific museum design issues such as spatial organisation and arrangement, and lighting. Paul von Naredi-Rainer is an expert on the subject of museum construction and author of the widely read "Architektur und Harmonie" (Architecture and Harmony). Herbert Pfeiffer, Helmut F.O. MÃ1⁄4ller and Hans JÃ1⁄4rgen Schmitz teach at Dortmund University, Oliver Hilger and Gerhard Kahlert at RWTH Aachen.

Wegmarken des Heils
Die Entstehung der Ritualien und Prozessionsbücher des (Erz-)Bistums Paderborn wird in dieser liturgiegeschichtlichen Studie vor ihrem historischen und soziokulturellen Hintergrund untersucht. Der Autor zeigt auf, welche Quellen bei der Redaktion der Bücher genutzt wurden und wie sich zeitgeschichtlich, gesellschaftlich, kulturell oder kirchenpolitisch bedingte Einflüsse auswirkten. Insbesondere wird die Entwicklung der liturgischen Feiern von der Taufe bis zum Begräbnis in den einzelnen Ritualien nachgezeichnet, wobei ein spezielles Augenmerk den Paderborner Eigenriten gilt.
Das Augustiner-Chorherrenstift Böddeken
Die Bibliothek des ehemaligen Augustiner-Chorherrenstifts Böddeken in Westfalen wurde im 15. Jahrhundert innerhalb weniger Jahrzehnte durch eine umfassende Schreibtätigkeit insbesondere der Priestermönche aufgebaut und erlangte sowohl durch ihre berühmte Sammlung von Legendarien als auch durch ihre Verbreitung in vielen Tochterkonventen herausragende Bedeutung. Sie fand in einem um 1479 neu gebauten Ostflügel der Klausur ihren nahezu unverändert erhaltenen Ort, in dem bis heute bauzeitliche Wandmalereien von der Aufstellungssystematik Zeugnis ablegen. Der Band widmet sich der Bibliothek in ihrer räumlichen Gestalt, in ihrer über eine umfassende Rekonstruktion des Bestandes erschlosse...
