Architecture for the Shroud
The famed linen cloth preserved in Turin Cathedral has provoked pious devotion, scientific scrutiny, and morbid curiosity. Imprinted with an image many faithful have traditionally believed to be that of the crucified Christ "painted in his own blood," the Shroud remains an object of intense debate and notoriety yet today. In this amply illustrated volume, John Beldon Scott traces the history of the unique relic, focusing especially on the black-marble and gilt-bronze structure Guarino Guarini designed to house and exhibit it. A key Baroque monument, the chapel comprises many unusual architectural features, which Scott identifies and explains, particulary how the chapel's unprecedented geomet...

Late Gothic Painting in the Crown of Aragon and the Hispanic Kingdoms
This book aims to analyze the genesis and evolution of late Gothic painting in the Crown of Aragon and the rest of the Hispanic kingdoms, examining this phenomenon in relation to the whole context of Europe in the second half of the fifteenth century.

The book also examines altarpieces, considering topics such as changes in shape and structure and liturgical links, along with offering stylistic analyses supported by new technologies.

L'origen dels castells
L'origen dels castells és un tema apassionant que es planteja gairebé tothom que fa castells o que n'ha vist alguna vegada. El debat fa més de cent anys que dura, i ha donat lloc a diverses teories, algunes força imaginatives, altres esbiaixades per les passions localistes, altres més ben fonamentades. Aquest llibre és el primer que afronta aquest tema de forma monogràfica i espera resoldre'l de manera convincent, amb rigor, amb el màxim de dades i amb noves aportacions. Aquest llibre es basa en dues anàlisis: d'una banda, ressegueix la història del ball de valencians, des del segle XVII fins a l'origen dels castells, 60 notícies en total, de les quals fa una lectura crítica, que de vegades no coincideix amb les interpretacions donades fins ara. De l'altra, l'anàlisi tècnica es fa a partir de la descripció i comparació dels castells, els balls de valencians, les muixerangues del País Valencià, les moixigangues religioses catalanes i fins i tot amb els acròbates del Magreb.
