商品簡介
Scholars and students of the history of the art and architecture of medieval Spain will find much of value in this collection of papers, which were delivered in abbreviated form at the October 2002 Court and Monastery Symposium held at Southern Methodist U. in Dallas, Texas and at the 37th International Congress on Medieval Studies at Kalamazoo, Michigan in May, 2002. The 16 papers, most of which have been expanded and revised into substantial articles, are on topics for which Williams is the most renowned specialist: the Beatus manuscripts, the relation of church and state in medieval Spain, and the architecture of the medieval Spanish churches themselves. The papers are accompanied by b&w plates. A lengthy bibliography is included. The contributors are scholars in the US, the UK, Germany, and Spain; some, including the editors, were Williams' students at the U. of Pittsburgh, where he is now emeritus.
