Stereotomy and the Mediterranean: Notes Toward an Architectural History*
STEREOTOMY AND THE MEDITERRANEAN: * NOTES TOWARD AN ARCHITECTURAL HISTORY SARA GALLETTI DUKE UNIVERSITY Abstract Stereotomy, the art of cutting stones into particular shapes for the construction of vaulted structures, is an ancient art that has been practiced over a wide chronological and geographical span, from Hellenistic Greece to contemporary Apulia and across the Mediterranean Basin. Yet the history of ancient and medieval stereotomy is little understood, and nineteenth- century theories about the art’s Syrian origins, its introduction into Europe via France and the crusaders, and the intrinsic Frenchness of medieval stereotomy are still largely accepted. In this essay, I question these theories with the help of a work-in-progress database and database-driven maps that consolidate evidence of stereotomic practice from the third century BCE through the eleventh century CE and across the Mediterranean region. I argue that the history of stereotomy is far more complex than what historians have assumed so far and that, for the most part, it has yet to be written. Key Words Stereotomy, stone vaulting, applied geometry, history of construction techniques. * I am very grateful to John Jeffries Martin and Jörn Karhausen for reading drafts of this essay and providing important suggestions. I am also indebted to the faculty and students of the Centre Chastel (INHA, Paris), where I presented an early version of this essay in April 2016, for helping me clarify aspects of my research. Philippe Cabrit, a maître tailleur of the Compagnons du devoir de France, helped me immensely by generously sharing his knowledge of the practice of stereotomy. This essay is dedicated to Maître Cabrit as a token of my gratitude.

Recorder Use in Spanish Churches and Cathedrals in the Sixteenth and Early Seventeenth Centuries
Recebido em | Received 14/01/2018 Aceite em | Accepted 22/03/2019 nova série | new series 5/2 (2018), pp. 341-356 ISSN 2183-8410 http://rpm-ns.pt Recorder Use in Spanish Churches and Cathedrals in the Sixteenth and Early Seventeenth Centuries Julia Miller University of Antwerp Royal Conservatory of Antwerp [email protected] Resumo Os documentos do século XVI e início do século XVII que sobrevivem até hoje revelam informações muito dispersas no que concerne ao papel da flauta de bisel na prática de música sacra. Embora tivessem sido adquiridos vários conjuntos de flautas de bisel por instituições eclesiásticas ao longo desse período, coincidindo temporalmente com a representação na iconografia religiosa, grande parte das obras vocais sacras do século XVI não nos elucida sobre a utilização específica destes instrumentos. Dada a escassez de documentação com informação acerca do uso das flautas de bisel, várias questões persistem até à actualidade entre os músicos que procuram definir as suas escolhas informadas para a prática interpretativa. Este artigo apresenta alguns resultados da pesquisa sobre o papel assumido pelas flautas na prática musical sacra em catedrais e igrejas em Espanha, durante os séculos XVI e XVII. Através da síntese e análise dos dados arquivísticos relativamente à compra, reparação e posse de flautas de bisel, às características de alguns desses instrumentos, a contratação e actividade dos músicos que os tocavam, e detalhes da prática interpretativa que remetem especificamente para estes instrumentos. Este artigo aborda também o tópico do repertório disponível nas catedrais e igrejas espanholas que possuem registo da sua actividade e, especificamente, da música que integra as colecções para instrumentos de sopro.

Characteristic Function of Impulse Responses in Churches
Characteristic Function of impulse responses in churches Cerdá-Jordá, Salvador1; Giménez-Pérez, Alicia2 Applied Physics Dept., Universitat Politècnica de València Cibrián, Rosa3 Physiology Dept., Universitat de València Segura-García, Jaume4 Computer Science Dept., Universitat de València Girón Sara5; Zamarreño, Teófilo6; Galindo, Miguel7; Álvarez-Corbacho, Ángel8 Instituto Universitario de Arquitectura y Ciencias de la Construcción, Escuela Técnica Superior de Arquitectura, Universidad de Sevilla ABSTRACT The tool presented enables the sound behaviour of a room to be objectified on the basis of the representation of the characteristic function (CF) of said room. In this paper, we study characteristic functions, defined from the impulsive responses measured at different points in the room, that are obtained in churches and cathedrals. These CFs show a variation that correlates with the distance from the point of measurement and the source. An analysis is carried out on the relationship between this variation with those acoustic parameters that depend on the distance to the source: C50, C80, and G. In addition, the differentiating features between these types of spaces are shown, thereby allowing the characteristic function to offer an overall assessment of the room, which in turn enables the classification of similar sound spaces.

Analysis of the structural behaviour of the historical Constructions by the damage model through mechanical characterization of the material obtained by laboratory tests. This analysis has been particularly applied to the case historical construction of the Cathedral of Valencia (Spain), this is a representative example of Mediterranean Gothic with a structure formed by two sets of diaphragmatic walls, breaking with the Central European Gothic canons. In this research we have been conducted laboratory tests of samples taken from the masonry, in order to use these mechanical properties of the material nonlinear numerical models so that the results will allow an accurate calibration of material behaviour for both gravitational and seismic actions. The study carried out justifies the reasons of the differences between the Mediterranean Gothic and the traditional.
