A Bridge to the Sky
A Bridge to the Sky explores the close connections between science, arts, and visual culture as they developed in the medieval Islamic lands. It presents a significant study of the career of 'Abbas Ibn Firnas, (d. 887), the most celebrated 'scientist' and polymath of early Islamic Spain, best known for conducting an experiment that has been celebrated as a milestone in the history of human flight.
The Medieval Iberian Treasury in the Context of Cultural Interchange (Expanded Edition)
The Medieval Iberian Treasury in the Context of Cultural Interchange—expanded beyond the special issue of Medieval Encounters from which it was drawn—centers on the magnificent treasury of San Isidoro de León to address wider questions about the meanings of cross-cultural luxury goods in royal-ecclesiastical settings during the central Middle Ages. Now fully open access and with an updated introduction to ongoing research, an additional chapter, composite bibliographies, and indices, this multidisciplinary volume opens fresh ways into the investigation of medieval objects and textiles through historical, art historical, and technical analyses. Carbon-14 dating, iconography, and social history are among the methods applied to material and textual evidence, together shining new light on the display of rulership in medieval Iberia. Contributors are Ana Cabrera Lafuente, María Judith Feliciano, Julie A. Harris, Jitske Jasperse, Therese Martin, Pamela A. Patton, Ana Rodríguez, and Nancy L. Wicker.

Urban Transformations in the Late Antique West: Materials, Agents, and Models
This volume is the fruit of a highly productive international research gathering academic and professional (field- and museum) colleagues to discuss new results and approaches, recent finds and alternative theoretical assessments of the period of transition and transformation of classical towns in Late Antiquity. Experts from an array of modern countries attended and presented to help compare and contrast critically archaeologies of diverse regions and to debate the qualities of the archaeology and the current modes of study. While a number of papers inevitably focused on evidence available for both Spain and Portugal, we were delighted to have a spread of contributions that extended the picture to other territories in the Late Roman West and Mediterranean. The emphasis was very much on the images presented by archaeology (rescue and research works, recent and past), but textual data were also brought into play by various contributors.

El Arte en la Baja Edad Media Occidental: arquitectura, escultura y pintura
Reflexión sobre los objetos artísticos que se produjeron en un momento y un espacio concreto, la Europa Gótica, desde mediados del siglo XII hasta comienzos del XVI con la irrupción del Renacimiento, sin olvidar las manifestaciones que conviven con este estilo gótico, las aportaciones que provienen del mundo islámico y de los cambios derivados de la evolución de la pintura flamenca e italiana, interpretándolas como el conjunto de novedades que desembocarán en el Renacimiento.
EL MARMOR EN HISPANIA: EXPLOTACIÓN, USO Y DIFUSIÓN EN ÉPOCA ROMANA
El presente volumen nace del proyecto de investigación sobre el yacimiento de Carranque (Toledo) que viene desarrollándose desde hace años en el marco de las excavaciones sistemáticas subvencionadas por la Junta de Comunidades de Castilla-La Mancha. La excepcionalidad cualitativa y cuantitativa de los marmora documentados en dicho yacimiento, de donde provienen decenas de miles de fragmentos procedentes de las más importantes canteras del arco mediterráneo (Anatolia, Grecia insular y peninsular, Egipto, Tunicia, Hispania), hacen de Carranque uno de los escenarios más interesantes donde analizar el fenómeno del uso del marmor en época romana. En este libro se recogen dieciséis aportaciones de destacados investigadores, nacionales e internacionales, que se ocupan de cuestiones referentes a la explotación, comercio, distribución y uso del marmor en época romana. El estudio de los materiales lapídeos procedentes de canteras hispanas ha experimentado un importante impulso en los últimos años y a él se vienen dedicando diversos proyectos y trabajos de investigación cuyos resultados se incluyen en estas páginas.
