商品簡介
Historians explore how people within and beyond medieval Rome portrayed the city in the long shadow of its imperial greatness. Their topics include the architecture of saint veneration in early medieval Rome, the patrons of Santa Maria Antiqua, Ireland and Rome in the seventh century, and the significance of Rome in 12th-century Chester, England. Relics, pilgrimage, wall painting, sung liturgy, processions, and the use of space are among the themes. The articles are written by art historians in the US and the UK who, in keeping with the motives of this series, expand their analysis of the artistic and architectural monuments to encompass the works' context in religion and society. The papers originate from talks given at medieval conferences in Leeds, Kalamazoo, and Miami in 2003 and 2005. This is a fascinating volume, which will be of interest to a wide readership. The volume is well illustrated with b&w plates. Annotation c2008 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
