SANT CLIMENT < RIPOLL. SANTA MARIA Catalonia, land of Romanesque art Catalonia is and always has been receptive to the various artistic styles that have succeeded one another in Europe. Perhaps one of the most profoundly assimilated was Romanesque art, which emerged while Catalonia’s historical personality was taking shape during the height of feudalism. The birth and expansion of Romanesque art took place at a time when the sovereignty of the Counts of Barcelona had been recognised by the other Catalan counts. This unifcation coincided with two other major events. One was the de facto severing of all feudal ties with the French kings who had succeeded the last Carolingians; the other was the expedition to Crdoba (1010), which defnitively quashed the threat of an invasion from Al-Andalus and put the small Muslim-ruled principalities, into which the caliphate had been split up, under the protection of the Catalan counts. -
Santa María De Ripoll: Vicisitudes Históricas De Una Portada Románica
santa María de ripoll: Vicisitudes históricas de una portada románica El estado de conservación de la portada románica de Ripoll es fruto tanto del “mal de piedra” detectado hacia 1959, y donde José María Cabrera Garrido actuó entre 1964 y 1974, como de una larga serie de vicisitudes his- tóricas (terremotos, sacudidas, depredaciones, elementos generadores de humedad, contaminación histórica ambiental, etc.), las cuales hay que tener muy en cuenta cuando se quiere emprender cualquier actuación de conservación o de mejora de la realidad existente.

Chapter 4. Power with a Name: the Rulers of the March
210 Power with a Name: the rulers of the March Introduction: ‘public’ power in late-Carolingian Catalonia Ideology: power with a name In the figures of Guifré and Ansulf we have men who held what institutional historians might consider a public authority, delegated from the count as seen in his patronage which gave these men their beneficia or castles. Their authority has titles whose etymology is one of this delegation: the vicarii , local substitutes for the count, and further up, viscounts, deputies for the count; even the counts themselves derived their title from a long-notional companionship with the distant king. These are ideas of power external to the March itself, imported with the Franks, if not, as in a few cases like the vague office of saio or the Code-backed one of judge, with the Visigoths. 1 They are structures which the historian of other areas coming to Catalonia will recognise; and so did the kings, for they appeared in royal documents. 2 They provide a template of administration for the area. 3 All the same one is entitled to ask what it was that they meant, in this local environment where the king was absent. Until 878 at least, the kings of the Franks had chosen the counts of the March, albeit from a decreasing pool of possible candidates. With the council of Troyes in 878 and Guifré the Hairy’s succession with his brother Miró to the 1 See Chapter 2 above, pp. 107-113. 2 E. g. Cat. Car. II ap.

Law, Liturgy, and Sacred Space in Medieval Catalonia and Southern France, 800-1100
Law, Liturgy, and Sacred Space in Medieval Catalonia and Southern France, 800-1100 Adam Christopher Matthews Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy under the Executive Committee of the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY 2021 1 ©2021 Adam Christopher Matthews All Rights Reserved 2 Abstract Law, Liturgy, and Sacred Space in Medieval Catalonia and Southern France, 800-1100 Adam Christopher Matthews With the collapse of the Visigothic kingdom, the judges of Catalonia and southern France worked to keep the region‘s traditional judicial system operable. Drawing on records of judicial proceedings and church dedications from the ninth century to the end of the eleventh, this dissertation explores how judges devised a liturgically-influenced court strategy to invigorate rulings. They transformed churches into courtrooms. In these spaces, changed by merit of the consecration rite, community awe for the power infused within sacred space could be utilized to achieve consensus around the legitimacy of dispute outcomes. At the height of a tribunal, judges brought litigants and witnesses to altars, believed to be thresholds of Heaven, and compelled them to authenticate their testimony before God and his saints. Thus, officials supplemented human means of enforcement with the supernatural powers permeating sanctuaries. This strategy constitutes a hybridization of codified law and the belief in churches as real sacred spaces, a conception that emerged from the Carolingian liturgical reforms of the ninth century. In practice, it provided courts with a means to enact the mandates from the Visigothic Code and to foster stability. The result was a flexible synthesis of law, liturgy, and sacred space that was in many cases capable of harnessing spiritual and community pressure in legal proceedings. -

CATALONIA Fam trip with ATTA collaboration 18/09 – 24/09/2017 Monday 18th September Morning Arrival of the different flights. 13:00 Transfer to VAL D’ARAN. 300 km – 3h 45 min The Val d’Aran has its own distinctive personality. This high mountain territory is the only valley in the Catalan Pyrenees with an Atlantic climate. Its exceptional location, former links with Occitania, and century-old isolation during the winter months have left this small area with its own language (Aranese), officially recognized throughout Catalonia, and deep-rooted traditions originating in what is now the south of France. With impressive landscapes, glacial lakes, and peaks over 3000 metres high, the Val d’Aran is an ideal destination for skiing and adventure sports; Baqueira Beret resort is considered to have the best winter sports infrastructure in the whole of the Iberian Peninsula. 17:00 Check-in at 4* Hotel in Vielha. 18:30 Stroll around Vielha. Vielha, the capital of Val d’Aran, is a small Pyrenean city with approximately 4000 inhabitants and it is located at 974 meters above sea level. It is surrounded by peaks over 2000 meters. The village is built along the Garona River, at the point where both the Garona and Nere rivers meet. 20:00 Dinner in a typical aranese restaurant based on local food. Tuesday 19th September 09:00 Breakfast and check-out. 09:30 E-bike activity. You will be able to know a bit more about Val d’Aran history and its small towns while cycling. 12.00 Hiking route around Aigüestortes i Estany de Sant Maurici National Park. -

Legajo 179”.1 Lleva por título: Rubrica dels actes en pregamí [sic]; se encontran en lo Archiu del Real Monestir de Sant Banet de Bages de la Parroquia de Santa María de Navarcles en calaix numero =22= signats de lletra H y números. Son, pues, regestos de documentos del archivo del cenobio benedictino, que hacen referencia a los bienes inmuebles que éste tenía en la contigua parroquia de Santa María de Navarcles. El legajo, por la escritura, es de finales del siglo XVIII . Toda la documentación se refiere al monasterio y sus propiedades, y, como es natural, en su mayor parte es de contenido económico y jurídico. Fue redactado, en concreto, con finalidad fiscal. El interés de sus regestos consiste en que nos informan sobre un nuevo documento de época carolingia, que no ha sido recogido en el magno diplomata- rio de Catalunya Carolingia2, obra fundada por el eminente medievalista Ramon d’Abadal i de Vinyals con el objetivo de publicar toda la documentación referente a Cataluña hasta el año mil, aproximadamente unos 7.000 documentos. -
Vallfogona and the Vall De Sant Joan: a Community in the Grip Of
72 Vallfogona and the Vall de Sant Joan: a community in the grip of change Sant Joan de Ripoll and the Evidence One of the more concentrated bodies of this problematic evidence has been left to us by the monastery of Sant Joan de Ripoll, now known as Sant Joan de les Abadesses. Now a parish church, it is sited in the Ripoll valley, slightly further up the Ter than its sister foundation of Santa Maria. 1 Unlike that house, 2 Sant Joan has left us a considerable part of its documentation. We know from a sixteenth-century inventory of the archive which is preserved in the first volume of the monastery’s Llibre de Canalars that what we now have, either at Sant Joan or for the most part in the Arxiu de la Corona de Aragó in Barcelona, is only about half of what was once there. Despite the losses, partially offset by the regesta in the Llibre de Canalars , the ninth- and tenth-century material for the monastery and its immediate environs is plentiful by most standards. In particular, the monastery’s own valley and the neighbouring one of Vallfogona furnish us with just over one hundred and fifty charters between 885 and an arbitrary cut-off point of 1030, and in that sequence concentrated more towards to the early tenth century when the monastery was most active in 1 There are two short volumes on Sant Joan, J. Masdeu, St. Joan de les Abadesses: resum historic (Vic 1926) and E. Albert i Corp, Les Abadesses de Sant Joan: verificació històrica , Episodis de la Història 69 (Barcelona 1965); both are hard to find and a more modern summary will be found in A. -
