Visions of the End in Medieval Spain
Never before have all twenty-nine illustrated copies of the Beatus Commentaries on the Apocalypse been brought together for comparative analysis in a single volume. John Williams, renowned expert on the Commentaries, offers here his updated considerations on the material, revising and summing up a lifetime of study on these strikingly illuminated manuscripts. Dating from the early to central Middle Ages, the Spanish phenomenon of the Commentary o…
Silver and Niello in Islamic Iberia
In this short think piece, we highlight four objects that stand in for a larger group of medieval containers made of silver and niello.Decorations and Arabic inscriptions make it likely that these metalworks were made in al-Andalus between the mid-tenth and early twelfth centuries, yet all but one have come down to us through preservation in church treasuries.Here we lay out the issues at play in our ongoing study of the full group of silver cont…

Caskets of Silver and Ivory from Diverse Parts of the World
By focusing on San Isidoro de León in the central Middle Ages, this study investigates the multiple meanings behind the presence of objects from other cultures in a royal-monastic treasury, suggesting a reconsideration of the paths by which such pieces arrived. The development of the Isidoran collection is reexamined through a close analysis of a charter recording the 1063 donation together with early thirteenth-century writings by Lucas of Tuy. …
Espacios de mujeres —auténticos e imaginados— en los Beatos ilustrados
El Comentario al Apocalipsis de Beato de Liébana representado por veintinueve conocidos ejemplares, desde un solo folio hasta más de 300, es un género ilustrado cuya vigencia superó los tres siglos. Aunque los coloridos manuscritos han sido estudiado por especialistas en una gama amplia de campos, la tradición de los Beatos jamás se había analizado desde una perspectiva de género. Por lo tanto, en el presente artículo los autores investigan esta …
Women’s Spaces —Real and Imagined— in the Illustrated Beatus Commentaries
The medieval Commentary on the Apocalypse by Beatus of Liébana, with twenty-nine surviving examples that extend from a single page to over 300 folios, is an illustrated genre spanning more than three centuries. Although the color-filled manuscripts have been well studied by scholars from a range of fields, the Beatus tradition has never been analyzed from a gendered perspective. In the present article, therefore, the authors investigate this apoc…
Fuentes de potestad para reinas e infantas
Dentro del marco de este estudio, se trata la relación estrecha entre determinadas mujeres regias y el ejercicio de poder a través del mecenazgo artístico-arquitectónico en los siglos centrales de la Edad Media. También se trazan conexiones con las actividades de las mujeres regias contemporáneas procedentes de otros territorios para intentar dilucidar en dónde se encuentran similitudes o diferencias. Se verá cómo el poder de las reinas e infanta…

The margin to act
One of the challenges faced by medieval art historians is to recognise the diverse roles women played in matters of medieval art, while seeing also the impact of society on their artistic choices. By tracing how one work of art can open new critical insights into another, and how disparate objects and buildings – if thought through together – can illuminate our understanding of the Middle Ages overall, we can discern the multi-layered stages of t…
Motivations à mettre en lumière la culture muséale des enfants. Un enjeu pour la valorisation de l’éducation non formelle
Nos travaux de recherche en muséologie s’intéressent à la réception du « public-enfants », en particulier dans les musées de sciences. Pour situer le cadre de notre recherche, nous proposons de mieux cerner la bipolarité du musée dont la mission est souvent partagée entre éducation, pédagogie, apprentissage, d’une part, et loisir, délectation, désir de se cultiver, d’autre part. Face notamment à l’influence de la pédagogie scolaire dans les musée…

Reassessing the roles of women as 'makers' of medieval art and architecture
Chronicling the Iberian Palace
Contemporaneous written evidence makes it clear that medieval rulers were aware of the impression that their dwellings caused and, indeed, that they took deliberate steps to reinforce the visual impact on the viewers. In this study, I will focus on some of the more extensive twelfth‐century descriptions of two palaces from Christian lands of Iberia – one episcopal (Santiago de Compostela), one royal (León) – within an examination of the roles tha…
The Art of a Reigning Queen as Dynastic Propaganda in Twelfth-Century Spain
Recent studies of queenship have allowed us to look closely at various aspects of the life of a ruler's consort, from patronage to reputation to commemoration, with a focus on the queens who were wives or mothers of kings.This study, however, will focus on Urraca of Leon-Castile (reigned 1109-26) to examine the unusual role of a reigning queen, that is, the king's daughter and heir to his throne, whose position carried a greater dynastic weight t…
The Development of Winged Angels in Early Christian Art
The first representations of angels in Early Christian art showed a being visually indistinguishable from man. This study undertakes to explain the sudden apperarance of winged angels in the late fourth century within its religious and historical contexts The model for winged angels was Nike, an unusual choice given that Victory was conceived of as a female, while angels were decidedly male.Las primeras representaciones de angeles en el art paleo…
