Book excerpt: From 711 when they arrived on the Iberian Peninsula until 1492 when scholars contribute a wide-ranging series of essays and catalogue entries which are fully companion to the 373 illustrations (324 in color) of the spectacular art and architecture of the nearly vanished culture. 91/2x121/2 they were expelled by Ferdinand and Isabella, the Muslims were a powerful force in al-Andalus, as they called the Iberian lands they controlled. This awe-inspiring volume, which accompanies a major exhibition presented at the Alhambra in Granada and The Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York, is devoted to the little-known artistic legacy of Islamic Spain, revealing the value of these arts as part of an autonomous culture and also as a presence with deep significance for both Europe and the Islamic world.

Book Synopsis Framing the Early Middle Ages by : Chris Wickham
Download or read book Framing the Early Middle Ages written by Chris Wickham and published by OUP Oxford. This book was released on 2006-11-30 with total page 1019 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Roman empire tends to be seen as a whole whereas the early middle ages tends to be seen as a collection of regional histories, roughly corresponding to the land-areas of modern nation states. As a result, early medieval history is much more fragmented, and there have been few convincing syntheses of socio-economic change in the post-Roman world since the 1930s. In recent decades, the rise of early medieval archaeology has also transformed our source-base, but this has not been adequately integrated into analyses of documentary history in almost any country. In Framing the Early Middle Ages Chris Wickham combines documentary and archaeological evidence to create a comparative history of the period 400-800. His analysis embraces each of the regions of the late Roman and immediately post-Roman world, from Denmark to Egypt. The book concentrates on classic socio-economic themes, state finance, the wealth and identity of the aristocracy, estate management, peasant society, rural settlement, cities, and exchange. These give only a partial picture of the period, but they frame and explain other developments. Earlier syntheses have taken the development of a single region as 'typical', with divergent developments presented as exceptions. This book takes all different developments as typical, and aims to construct a synthesis based on a better understanding of difference and the reasons for it.

Book Synopsis Desde la Tarraconense hasta la Marca Superior de al-Andalus (siglos IV-XI) by : Philippe Sénac
Download or read book Desde la Tarraconense hasta la Marca Superior de al-Andalus (siglos IV-XI) written by Philippe Sénac and published by Editions Médiriennes. This book was released on 2006 with total page 334 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Cet ouvrage regroupe les actes d'un colloque organisé par la Casa de Velàzquez, à Madrid, au mois de mars 2004 sous le titre Desde la Tarraconense hasta Marca Superior de al-Andalus (ss. IV-XI). Il s'agit là du premier volet d'une série intitulée villa dont le champ de recherche couvre l'ensemble de la vallée de l'Ebre et la période des siècles dits obscurs. L'objectif de cette réunion visait à regrouper des universitaires et des chercheurs des deux côtés de la chaîne pyrénéenne pour éclairer la question controversée de la transition de l'Antiquité tardive au Moyen Age. Au-delà de la diversité des exemples abordés, en Navarre, en Aragon comme en Catalogne, les séances ont permis de dégager des points communs dans l'étude du peuplement rural, tel que le poids du déclin démographique des Ve-Vle siècles, l'existence d'un habitat dispersé avant l'an mil, la fréquence des sépultures taillées dans la roche et surtout, avant la grande mutation du Xe siècle, le faible rôle du château dans l'organisation de l'espace et la structuration du peuplement. Malgré les bouleversements entraînés par la conquête musulmane au début du VIIIe siècle, on retiendra surtout qu'il convient d'étudier cette période non plus en termes de fin du monde antique ou de prémices du Moyen Age mais en soi et pour soi, comme un moment particulier, depuis la crise de la villa jusqu'à l'essor de l'incastellamento.
Book Synopsis The Formation of al-Andalus, Part 1 by : Manuela Marin
Download or read book The Formation of al-Andalus, Part 1 written by Manuela Marin and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-12-05 with total page 541 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: These two volumes present a conspectus of current research on the history and culture of early medieval Spain and Portugal, from the time of the Arab conquest in 711 up to the fall of the caliphate. They trace the impact of Islamisation on the pre-existing Roman and Visigothic political and social structures, the continuing interaction between Christian and Muslim, and describe the particular development and characteristics of Muslim Spain- al-Andalus. Together, they comprise 38 articles, of which 32 have been translated into English specially for this publication. The first volume focuses on political and social history, and looks in detail at settlement patterns and urbanisation; the second examines questions of language and covers the brilliant cultural and intellectual history of the period.
Book Synopsis The Visual Culture of al-Andalus in the Christian Kingdoms of Iberia by : Inés Monteira
Download or read book The Visual Culture of al-Andalus in the Christian Kingdoms of Iberia written by Inés Monteira and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2024-10-11 with total page 243 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book addresses the reception of Islamic visual culture by the northern Iberian kingdoms, by systematically comparing works of art from both sides and fleshing out their historical context. This study includes figurative and iconographic motifs, architectural forms, and even the spolia from constructions and Arabic inscriptions that were embedded in Christian buildings. The Islamic visual culture of al-Andalus was often transformed as it was recreated by Christian hands, bringing to the fore various nuances in the relationship between the two religious communities. Artistic transfer was conditioned by social coexistence between Christians and Muslims—both in the caliphate al-Andalus and in the northern realms—and military conflict. To approach the different ways in which Andalusi visual culture was received in the northern kingdoms, while embracing the vast diversity of case studies available, this book is divided into three thematic sections: Reinterpretation, Appropriation, and Artistic Transfers. This book will be of interest to scholars working in art history, visual culture, and medieval studies.
Download or read book A Companion to Medieval Toledo written by and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2018-10-02 with total page 318 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A Companion to Medieval Toledo. Reconsidering the Canons explores the limits of “Convivencia” through new and problematized readings of material familiar to specialists and offers a thoughtful initiation for the non-specialist into the historical, cultural, and religious complexity of the iconic city of Toledo. The volume seeks to understand the history and cultural heritage of the city as a result of fluctuating coexistence. Divided into three themed sections,- the essays consider additional material, new transcriptions, and perspectives that contribute to more nuanced understandings of traditional texts or events. The volume places this cultural history and these new readings into current scholarly debates and invites its readers to do the same.

Book Synopsis The Royal Workshops of the Alhambra by : Alberto García Porras
Download or read book The Royal Workshops of the Alhambra written by Alberto García Porras and published by Boydell & Brewer. This book was released on 2022 with total page 207 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Alhambra is one of the most famous archaeological sites worldwide, yet knowledge of it remains very partial, focussing on the medieval palaces. This book addresses that imbalance, examining the adjacent urban and industrial zone.The Alhambra is one of the most famous archaeological sites worldwide, yet knowledge of the complex remains very partial, focussing on its medieval Nasrid palaces. Other aspects of the site are virtually unknown, not only to the general public but to archaeologists and historians as well. The Royal Workshops of the Almambra addresses this imbalance, examining the urban and industrial zone adjacent to the palaces. Once the most densely populated and extensive area of the complex, this zone, the Secano, contained houses, tanneries, and workshops including a considerable number of pyrotechnological facilities for the production of metal, glass and ceramic items. Presenting the results of the Royal Workshops of the Alhambra (UNESCO World Heritage Site) project, the book gives a much-needed insight into the industrial sector of the Alhambra. Crucially, the project focusses on the early modern era, when the manufacture of ceramic, glass and metal actually reached their peak. The opening chapters set the archaeological work and the Secano in context and discuss the methodology for archaeological investigation of pyrotechnological activity; while further chapters present the results of the research. Drawing on both traditional and ground-breaking survey and excavation techniques, the book provides an invaluable wide-lens picture of the palatial city.eeded insight into the industrial sector of the Alhambra.
