Book Synopsis El enigma de las catedrales by : José Luis Corral
Download or read book El enigma de las catedrales written by José Luis Corral and published by Grupo Planeta Spain. This book was released on 2012-10-09 with total page 336 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: El día de Navidad de 1886, Paul Claudel, un joven francés descreído, entró en Nuestra Señora de París e, impactado por la catedral, se convirtió al catolicismo. «En un instante mi corazón fue tocado, y creí [...]. Las lágrimas y los sollozos acudieron a mí y el canto tan tierno del Adeste fideles aumentó mi emoción», escribió. Cuarenta años más tarde, en 1926, un enigmático alquimista que firmaba con el seudónimo de Fulcanelli publicó el libro El misterio de las catedrales, donde aseguraba que había alcanzado un estado místico que él denominaba «la iluminación», y que logró contemplando las vidrieras de una catedral gótica. Y es que, desde su origen a mediados del siglo XII, las catedrales góticas han ejercido una fascinación extraordinaria en cuantos las han contemplado, hasta el punto de convertirse en la imagen más reconocible de una fabulosa y legendaria Edad Media en el imaginario colectivo europeo. La arquitectura gótica, una de las invenciones más impresionantes del genio occidental, y la catedral como su máxima expresión, han despertado el asombro entre quienes se han acercado a ellas, incluso con las miradas más rabiosamente vanguardistas y contemporáneas. En este libro, ilustrado con fotografías, planos, dibujos y mapas, José Luis Corral, catedrático de Historia Medieval y reconocido novelista, resuelve numerosos enigmas y desmonta los mitos en torno al mundo de las catedrales, unos edifi cios fabricados en vidrio y piedra en los que se condensan siglos de sabiduría y ciencia, de luchas por el triunfo de la razón sobre el dogma y de la luz sobre las tinieblas.
Book Synopsis The History of Water Management in the Iberian Peninsula by : Ana Duarte Rodrigues
Download or read book The History of Water Management in the Iberian Peninsula written by Ana Duarte Rodrigues and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2020-03-18 with total page 387 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume approaches the history of water in the Iberian Peninsula in a novel way, by linking it to the ongoing international debate on water crisis and solutions to overcome the lack of water in the Mediterranean. What water devices were found? What were the models for these devices? How were they distributed in the villas and monastic enclosures? What impact did hydraulic theoretical knowledge have on these water systems, and how could these systems impact on hydraulic technology? Guided by these questions, this book covers the history of water in the most significant cities, the role of water in landscape transformation, the irrigation systems and water devices in gardens and villas, and, lastly, the theoretical and educational background on water management and hydraulics in the Iberian Peninsula between the sixteenth and the nineteenth centuries. Historiography on water management in the territory that is today Spain has highlighted the region’s role as a mediator between the Islamic masters of water and the Christian world. The history of water in Portugal is less known, and it has been taken for granted that is similar to its neighbour. This book compares two countries that have the same historical roots and, therefore, many similar stories, but at the same time, offers insights into particular aspects of each country. It is recommended for scholars and researchers interested in any field of history of the early modern period and of the nineteenth century, as well as general readers interested in studies on the Iberian Peninsula, since it was the role model for many settlements in South America, Asia and Africa.

The catalogue documents the carvings under these small mobile choir seats, which are hinged so they can be raised to provide standing space, revealing the carving beneath. Block's introduction describes the history of the misericord and its study. The entries provide details about the church's choir and other choir stalls then discusses the misericord's appearance, provenance, and condition. For churches that still have a substantial number, Block discusses the sculptural program of the misericords. Each misericord is reproduced in a b&w plate of excellent quality.

Download or read book The Art of Vaulting written by Paula Fuentes and published by Birkhäuser. This book was released on 2019-05-06 with total page 234 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Some of the highest and widest vault constructions produced in the Middle Ages are located in the Mediterranean area. Outstanding buildings with remarkable vaults and buttressing, such as the Cathedral of Majorca, are evidence of a lively technology transfer and contemporary developments. International experts trace the complex processes of Medieval design and construction. They research structural patterns in the processes involved, analyze building methods, and relate their findings to historic documents. The approach of combining field research with the study of literary sources provides a fresh look at the impressive monuments and shines new light on technological advances and construction technology of the time.

Book Synopsis Portraying Cicero in Literature, Culture, and Politics by : Francesca Romana Berno
Download or read book Portraying Cicero in Literature, Culture, and Politics written by Francesca Romana Berno and published by Walter de Gruyter GmbH & Co KG. This book was released on 2022-02-21 with total page 540 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Cicero has played a pivotal role in shaping Western culture. His public persona, his self-portrait as model of Roman prose, philosopher, and statesman, has exerted a durable and profound impact on the educational system and the formation of the ruling class over the centuries. Joining up with recent studies on the reception of Cicero, this volume approaches the figure of Cicero from a ‘biographical’, more than ‘philological’, perspective and considers the multiple ways by which different ages reacted to Cicero and created their ‘Ciceros’. From Cicero’s lifetime to our times, it focuses on how the image of Cicero was revisited and reworked by intellectuals and men of culture, who eulogized his outstanding oratorical and political virtues but, not rarely, questioned the role he had in Roman politics and society. An international group of scholars elaborates on the figure of Cicero, shedding fresh light on his reception in late antiquity, Humanism and Renaissance, Enlightenment and modern centuries. Historians, literary scholars and philosophers, as well as graduate students, will certainly profit from this volume, which contributes enormously to our understanding of the influence of Cicero on Western culture over the times.
