    PRELIMINARY INVESTIGATION OF THE ICONOGRAPHY OF THE WOMAN WITH THE SKULL FROM THE PUERTA DE LAS PLATERÍAS OF SANTIAGO DE COMPOSTELA By KAREN FAYE WEBB A THESIS PRESENTED TO THE GRADUATE SCHOOL OF THE UNIVERSITY OF FLORIDA IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF MASTER OF ARTS UNIVERSITY OF FLORIDA 2004 Copyright 2004 by Karen Faye Webb To Dan and Judy Webb ACKNOWLEDGMENTS I am indebted to many individuals for their support and guidance in my physical and conceptual pilgrimage to Santiago de Compostela. I would most like to thank Dr. David Stanley who has been my constant supporter as my toughest critic and my most caring mentor. Dr. Carolyn Watson’s medieval art class at Furman University introduced me to the complex beauty of the south transept portal. My parents indulged my awe of this portal and physically and metaphorically climbed the steps leading to the Puerta de las Platerías with me to pay homage to the Woman with the Skull. Without them, this study would not have been possible. I would like to thank my reader, Dr. John Scott, for his insightful comments, and Jeremy Culler, Sarah Webb and Sandra Goodrich for their support, friendship, and unwavering faith in me. Finally, I would like to thank the Woman with the Skull, who brought me on this pilgrimage and has given me a new awareness about art and myself. iv TABLE OF CONTENTS page ACKNOWLEDGMENTS ................................................................................................. iv LIST OF FIGURES ..........................................................................................................

  • Digital Remaking of San Baudelio De Berlanga Course Overview Topics
    Digital Remaking of San Baudelio de Berlanga Columbia University Graduate School of Architecture, Planning and Preservation A6307 / Advanced Studio III HP Technology Studio Fall 2016 / Mondays and Tuesdays (alternate weeks) 26pm / 6 pts Prof. Adam Lowe and Prof. Carlos Bayod TA: Andrea Sforza Course overview This projectbased studio explores advanced applications of digital preservation technology through international realworld fieldwork. Drawing on previous knowledge of architectural structures systems and materials, students will employ cutting edge 3D scanning, photogrammetry and printing technologies to devise an experimental preservation treatment for a historic building. Students will carry out high resolution 3D and color recordings of the Hermitage of San Baudelio de Berlanga in Spain as well as a series of frescoes at the Met. We will then experiment with how to reassemble the pieces digitally, and envision ways in which the construction of a replica could reunite the scattered fragments in the building. Students will consider technology in a broader cultural, political and aesthetic context. They will inform their approaches with archival research, materials science research and other relevant research in order to address the range of issues opened up in the course. Topics Noncontact recording Digital mediation Conservation facsimiles Originality and Authenticity Raw data Surface and Shape High resolution scanning Multilayer files Digital restoration Reunification Technology workshops The goal of the studio is to explore the potential of noncontact digital technology to documenting cultural Heritage and to helping the preservation, study and dissemination of sensitive buildings. Thanks to the collaboration of the Factum Foundation and the Metropolitan Museum of Art, we will work with advanced technology to record the color and surface of a series of frescoes at the Cloisters (New York, September) and the Hermitage of San Baudelio (Spain, October).

  • Constructing the Cámara Santa: Architecture, History, and Authority in Medieval Oviedo
    Constructing the Cámara Santa: Architecture, History, and Authority in Medieval Oviedo by Flora Thomas Ward A thesis submitted in conformity with the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Department of Art University of Toronto © Copyright by Flora Thomas Ward 2014 Constructing the Cámara Santa: Architecture, History, and Authority in Medieval Oviedo Flora Thomas Ward Doctor of Philosophy Department of Art University of Toronto 2014 Abstract My dissertation examines the Cámara Santa of the Cathedral of Oviedo as both a medieval and modern monument, shaped by twelfth-century bishops and twentieth-century restorers. I consider the space as a multi-media ensemble, containing manuscripts, metalwork, and sculpture, arguing that we must view it as a composite—if fragmented—whole. My analysis focuses on the twelfth century, a crucial period during which the structure, decoration, and contents of the Cámara Santa were reworked. A key figure in this story is Bishop Pelayo of Oviedo (d. 1153), who sought to enhance the antiquity and authority of the see of Oviedo by means of the cult of its most important reliquary: the Arca Santa. I argue that this reliquary shapes the form and function of the twelfth-century Cámara Santa, considering the use of the space in the context of liturgy and pilgrimage. Finally, I consider the sculpture that lines the walls of the space, arguing that it animates and embodies the relics contained within the Arca Santa, interacting with the pilgrims and canons who used the space. Thus, this sculpture represents the culmination of the long twelfth-century transformation of the Cámara Santa into a space of pilgrimage focused around the Arca Santa and the memory of the early medieval patrons of the Cathedral of Oviedo, a memory which abides to this day.

    EXHIBITION PROSPECTUS SAN BAUDELIO DE BERLANGA An Architectural Jewel Remade CONTENTS Introduction 3 The Monument 4 Exhibition Concept 16 Background 19 Digital Conservation 23 Technology and Process 25 Proposed Venues and Schedule 28 Costs 28 Contacts 28 SAN BAUDELIO DE BERLANGA An Architectural Jewel Remade ‘Upon the entering this exceptional building, it created such a great impression that neither I, nor my companions, ever remem- bered seeing anything similar.’ Manuel Aníbal Álvarez and José Ramón Mélida, 1907 Introduction Factum Foundation for Digital Technology in Conservation, Madrid, is organising an innovative exhibition on the jewel-like monastic church of San Baudelio de Berlanga (Soria, Spain). Based upon forensically accurate, high-resolution 3D scanning, photographic recording and new histori- cal research,the building and its dispersed mural paintings (removed in 1926) will be re-united in the form of a 1:1 physical recreation of the interior of the building. This replica will be fully visitable and will recreate an experience of the church in its original form. The exhibition will also explore new interpretations of the building and its enigmatic iconography, and new research about the sale of the paintings in America, including some now missing, and the restorations that have al- tered their appearance. Visitors in America (where most of the paintings reside) and Spain (where some of the paintings have been returned on loan and where the restored building still stands) will be able to experience the building for the first time in nearly a century as it was intended by the communities that built and decorated it. This exhibition aims to bring this under-valued master- piece to a contemporary public by contemporary means.

  • Myth-Making and the Historical Imagination: an Investigation of the Historiography of Islamic Iberia Through Castilian Literature
    Myth-making and the Historical Imagination: An Investigation of the Historiography of Islamic Iberia Through Castilian Literature Gaston Jean-Xavier Arze Springfield, Virginia BA English, University of Virginia, 2017 A Thesis presented to the Graduate Faculty of the University of Virginia in Candidacy for the Degree of Master of Arts Department of Religious Studies University of Virginia December, 2018 Dr. Ahmed H. al-Rahim Dr. E. Michael Gerli 2 1. Introduction A historical narrative is thus necessarily a mixture of adequately and inadequately explained events, a congeries of established and inferred facts, at once a representation that is an interpretation and an interpretation that passes for an explanation of the whole process mirrored in the narrative. Hayden White, Tropics of Discourse (1978). The history of Islam in Spain is a deeply contested historical narrative, whose interpretation has significant implications for Spain’s perception of its national identity, as well as its historical memory, and modern political discourse. The rejection of Islamic Iberia plays an important role in the modern understanding of the nascence of the Spanish state. This is because, the history of medieval Iberia is largely framed as an 800-year struggle for independence from invading Muslims. This historical narrative is obviously at odds with the historical presence of the religion of Islam, the irrefutable linguistic contact between Arabic and Peninsular Romance, and the role of Arabic and Arabic sources in Iberia’s rich literary history. The aforementioned interpretation of the history of the Iberian Peninsula also rejects the influence that Islam played in the creation of identities unique to the peninsula: namely, the Mudéjars, the Moriscos and the Mozarabs.

  • Selected Ancestors of the Chicago Rodger's
    Selected Ancestors of the Chicago Rodger’s Volume I: Continental Ancestors Before Hastings David Anderson March 2016 Charlemagne’s Europe – 800 AD For additional information, please contact David Anderson at: [email protected] 508 409 8597 Stained glass window depicting Charles Martel at Strasbourg Cathedral. Pepin shown standing Pepin le Bref Baldwin II, Margrave of Flanders 2 Continental Ancestors Before Hastings Saints, nuns, bishops, brewers, dukes and even kings among them David Anderson March 12, 2016 Abstract Early on, our motivation for studying the ancestors of the Chicago Rodger’s was to determine if, according to rumor, they are descendants of any of the Scottish Earls of Bothwell. We relied mostly on two resources on the Internet: Ancestry.com and Scotlandspeople.gov.uk. We have been subscribers of both. Finding the ancestral lines connecting the Chicago Rodger’s to one or more of the Scottish Earls of Bothwell was the most time consuming and difficult undertaking in generating the results shown in a later book of this series of three books. It shouldn’t be very surprising that once we found Earls in Scotland we would also find Kings and Queens, which we did. The ancestral line that connects to the Earls of Bothwell goes through Helen Heath (1831-1902) who was the mother and/or grandmother of the Chicago Rodger’s She was the paternal grandmother of my grandfather, Alfred Heath Rodger. Within this Heath ancestral tree we found four lines of ancestry without any evident errors or ambiguities. Three of those four lines reach just one Earl of Bothwell, the 1st, and the fourth line reaches the 1st, 2nd and 3rd.

  • Draft 5 for Printing
    Jan Milí č of Kroměř íž and Emperor Charles IV: Preaching, Power, and the Church of Prague Eleanor Janega UCL Thesis Submitted for the degree of PhD in History 1 I, Eleanor Janega, confirm that the work presented in this thesis is my own. Where information has been derived from other sources, I confirm that this has been indicated in my thesis. 2 Abstract During the second half of the fourteenth century Jan Milí č of Krom ěř íž became an active and popular preacher in Prague. The sermons which he delivered focused primarily on themes of reform, and called for a renewal within the church. Despite a sustained popularity with the lay populace of Prague, Milí č faced opposition to his practice from many individual members of the city’s clergy. Eventually he was the subject of twelve articles of accusation sent to the papal court of Avignon. Because of the hostility which Milí č faced, historians have most often written of him as a precursor to the Hussites. As a result he has been identified as an anti-establishment rabble-rouser and it has been assumed that he conducted his career in opposition to the court of the Emperor Charles IV. This thesis, over four body chapters, examines the careers of both Milí č and Charles and argues that instead of being enemies, the two men shared an amicable relationship.
