  • The Great Seljuqs
    The Great Seljuqs This book provides a broad history of the Seljuq Turks from their origins and early conquests in the tenth century, through the rise of the empire, until its dissolution at the end of the twelth century. Where the history of the Seljuqs is usually studied in the context of medieval Persian, Arabic or Islamic history, this book considers the subject from the perspective of Turkish history. Examining the corpus of academic work on the period and how Turkish historiography has interpreted and understood the Seljuqs, the author demonstrates how the Great Seljuq Empire can be considered not only in a historical context, but as the instigator of Turko-Islamic civilization. Rejecting traditional Turkish scholarship, which places Iranian culture and Islam as the civilising elements in the Great Seljuq Empire, the author shows how the nature of nomadic pastoral empires has come under fresh scrutiny, reassessing Seljuq history and the framework within which it has been treated. This book provides a unique insight into the adoption of Turkic expectations to an urban environment that were forged on the Eurasian steppes, showing how the outcome put its stamp on the second millennium throughout the Middle East and the Balkans. It will be an important addition to the literature on medieval Islamic, Turkish and Middle Eastern history. Aziz Başan completed his PhD at the University of Edinburgh, and is now an independent scholar. Routledge studies in the history of Iran and Turkey Edited by Carole Hillenbrand University of Edinburgh This series publishes important studies dealing with the history of Iran and Turkey in the period CE 1000–1700.

  • GROSSI, Giovanni Battista by Rosella Carloni - Biographical Dictionary of Italians - Volume 59 (2002)
    GROSSI, Giovanni Battista by Rosella Carloni - Biographical Dictionary of Italians - Volume 59 (2002) We do not know the place and date of birth of this sculptor, documented in Rome in the second half of the eighteenth century, of which we ignore the formation, certainly occurred in the late-baroque tradition, prevailing in the city during the first decades of the century. This is borne out by the analysis of the first decorative cycle attributed to him by the sources and dating back to 1749. They are four bas- reliefs, placed inside the church of S. Nicola dei Lorenesi, then renovated by the architect Pietro Mariotti (Mallory, 1982 , 15, page 147 No. 5052). The stucco squares, worked "with great study and diligence for the copiosity of the Figures" according to the chronicles of the time (ibid.), Represent the prodigious facts of the life of s. Nicola di Bari. Designed according to an ideal point of view, located in the center of the church, and according to a purely baroque theatrical taste, they are arranged in pairs on the opposite walls of the vaulted rectangular hall: the two episodes concerning the Childhood of the saint are at the center, those of maturity at the entrance, thus suggesting a sense of spatial and temporal continuity (Violette, p.499). A series of compositional and formal correspondences also ideally connects scenes illustrating similar periods in the life of the saint on either side of the building. In the bas-relief with S. Nicola, a child who refuses mother's milk on Wednesdays and Fridays , on the second door on the right, and on the second with S.

  • Architectural Temperance: Spain and Rome, 1700-1759
    Architectural Temperance Spain and Rome, 1700–1759 Architectural Temperance examines relations between Bourbon Spain and papal Rome (1700–1759) through the lens of cultural politics. With a focus on key Spanish architects sent to study in Rome by the Bourbon Kings, the book also discusses the establishment of a program of architectural educa- tion at the newly-founded Real Academia de Bellas Artes de San Fernando in Madrid. Victor Deupi explores why a powerful nation like Spain would temper its own building traditions with the more cosmopolitan trends associated with Rome; often at the expense of its own national and regional traditions. Through the inclusion of previously unpublished documents and images that shed light on the theoretical debates which shaped eighteenth-century architecture in Rome and Madrid, Architectural Temperance provides an insight into readers with new insights into the cultural history of early modern Spain. Victor Deupi teaches the history of art and architecture at the School of Architecture and Design at the New York Institute of Technology and in the Department of Visual and Performing Arts at Fairfield University. His research focuses on cultural politics in the early modern Ibero-American world.
