Guida del pellegrino di Santiago
Quella che definiamo Guida del pellegrino di Santiago costituisce il Quinto libro del Liber Sancti Jacobi, ed occupa i fogli 192-213 del Codex Calixtinus della Cattedrale di Santiago de Compostela. Esso rappresenta uno dei testi di maggiore rilievo per la storia del pellegrinaggio a Santiago, e insieme costituisce uno dei migliori esempi di quella letteratura «di viaggio» che nacque in conseguenza delle tre peregrinationes maiores (a Roma, a Gerusalemme e a Santiago, appunto). Se nei testi relativi ai pellegrinaggi a Roma e a Gerusalemme il punto focale è costituito dalla descrizione, accuratissima e amplissima, delle mete, in questo testo trova invece molto spazio anche la descrizione de...

Artistic Practices and Cultural Transfer in Early Modern Italy
For too long, the ?centre? of the Renaissance has been considered to be Rome and the art produced in, or inspired by it. This collection of essays dedicated to Deborah Howard brings together an impressive group of internationally recognised scholars of art and architecture to showcase both the diversity within and the porosity between the ?centre? and ?periphery? in Renaissance art. Without abandoning Rome, but together with other centres of art production, the essays both shift their focus away from conventional categories and bring together recent trends in Renaissance studies, notably a focus on cultural contact, material culture and historiography. They explore the material mechanisms fo...
