In the present paper, the seismic behavior of a physical 1:5.5 scaled model of the church of the Fossanova Abbey is investigated by means of numerical and experimental ana- lyses. Aiming at defining the seismic vulnerability of such a structural typology a wide expe- rimental campaign was carried out. The achieved experimental results lead to the definition of a refined FE model reproducing the dynamic behavior of the whole structural complex. Then, the central transversal three-central bays of the church, as it mostly influences the seismic vulnerability of the Abbey, was investigated in a more detail by means of a shaking table test on a 1:5.5 scaled physical model in the Laboratory of the Institute for Earthquake Engineering and Engineering Seismology in Skopje. In the present paper a brief review of the numerical activity related to the prediction of the shaking table test response of the model is first proposed. Then, the identification of frequency decay during collapse is performed through decomposition of the measured power spectral density matrix. Finally, the localiza- tion and evolution of damage in the structure is analyzed.

In Search of the Perfect Wilderness. Anchoritism in Cistercian Art and Spirituality
Folia Historica Cracoviensia, 22: 2016, s. 513–533 DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.15633/fhc.2094 Dariusz Tabor CR The Pontifical University of John Paul II in Krakow In search of the perfect wilderness. Anchoritism in Cistercian art and spirituality At the turn of the 12th century, a reform of monastic life, hitherto regulated by the rule of St. Benedict, was initiated. The change was the work of a new community. The Cistercian Order implemented a unique observance of the rule and became one of the most important European orders in religious and cultural life. The rule followed by the Cistercians assumed cenobitic as opposed to eremitic life. However, looking at documents concerning Cistercian spirituality and their works of art, we may conclude that retreating to a secluded place and an eremitic streak have always been present and laid foundations for their congregations. This has already been the subject of research which led to several publications. In his panorama of Cistercian architecture in the British Isles, Richard Ferguson refers to their heritage as “architecture of solitude.”1 The question of isolation and retreat to the desert appears in Georges Duby’s work on the influence of St. Bernard on Cistercian art. The author traces Cistercian anchoritism back to the contemptus mundi approach present in Christianity since it inception. He em- phasises the significance of spiritual struggle, one which is waged by Cistercians not alone, but in a community. He interprets isolated locations of Cistercian monasteries and defines their nature as claustrum et eremum.2 Terryl Kinder stresses certain aspects of solitude and isolation in Cistercian architecture and calls it “architecture of contemplation.”3 Janet Burton and Julie Krery noticed and emphasised the departure of Robert of Molesme and his companions to a new place of practising life and contemplation in the community.4 They also captured 1 R.
