Pervivencia de motivos islámicos en el Renacimiento: El lema «ʼIzz Li-Mawlānā Al-Sulṭān» en las puertas del retablo mayor de la catedral de Valencia …
2018
El aprecio que se tuvo por los tejidos islámicos desde el Medievo es patente en la pintura religiosa. A través de estas líneas se analiza la pervivencia de motivos ornamentales en el Renacimiento, en concreto, el uso de letras árabes a partir del estudio de tres escenas de las puertas del retablo mayor de la catedral de Valencia pintadas por los Hernandos. En ellas los maestros copiaron un tejido nazarí con una inscripción cuya traducción ha pasado inadvertida hasta este momento y que plantea distintas hipótesis sobre su utilización en la obra.The appreciation of Islamic textiles since the Middle Ages is evident in religious painting. The aim of this paper is to analyze the survival of orna…
CATALANI E VALENZANI A SCIACCA NEL TARDO MEDIOEVO: RELIGIOSITÀ E FONDAZIONI ASSISTENZIALI
2020
Tre dei sei ospedali medievali di Sciacca furono fondati da esponenti del ceto mercantile e nobiliare catalano e valenzano trapiantato in Sicilia. Questo dato permette di mostrare il ruolo svolto dalle famiglie iberiche a Sciacca. Attraverso lo studio dei testamenti, in cui oltre ai legati pro anima, veniva disposta la fondazione di chiese, monasteri e strutture assistenziali, il saggio ricostruisce le espressioni della sensibilità religiosa e devozionale di queste famiglie, soffermandosi, in particolar modo, sull’istituzione dei tre ospedali e sulle diverse forme di carità praticate. Three of the six medieval hospitals in Sciacca were founded by merchants and nobles, members of Catalan and…
Transmissió del patrimoni i mercat immobiliari urbà. L’habitatge de les famílies artesanes en la vila d’Alzira durant els segles XIV-XV
2010
[ca] L'artesanat fou un col??lectiu destacat en l'àmbit del conjunt de viles que formaven el País Valencià en la baixa Edat Mitjana, també en el cas d'Alzira. En el següent article tractem d'oferir una anàlisi d'aquest heterogeni grup social mitjançant un dels principals espais on desenvolupava la seua activitat, l'obrador o la casa. I això a partir de la localització de bona part de la menestralia en el centre urbà, també de les tasques que portava a terme en l'àmbit domèstic, passant per la transmissió del patrimoni o en quines condicions accedia al mercat immobiliari. En definitiva, pretenem interrogar-nos sobre com s'inseria l'habitatge en les estratègies familiars i quin paper jugava e…

Autour du paon et du phénix : étude d'une iconographie cultuelle et funéraire dans le Bassin méditerranéen (IVe-XIIe siècle)
2017
This dissertation deals with the meaning of the peacock and the phoenix within contexts of worship and funerary contexts in the Mediterranean area, between the IVth and the XIIth centuries. The study is based on an iconographic documentation meeting 490 items of the peacock and 68 items of the phoenix. These birds were imaged in various ways as well as coins, paintings of catacombs, sarcophagi, mosaics (pavements, domes, apses, …), manuscripts, and even chancel screens. The analysis of the documentation indicates that links were weaved between both birds associated with the idea of revival long before the IVth century. The idea of revival, indeed, is a cross-cutting concept in the study of …

Conclusion. L’habitat de hauteur entre Protohistoire et haut Moyen Âge : pour une approche diachronique
2023
Au travers de ces quelques contributions, ce dossier entend proposer de nouvelles perspectives pour l’approche des occupations de hauteur, en prônant notamment une collaboration plus étroite entre spécialistes des âges des Métaux et de l’Antiquité tardive et du haut Moyen Âge. Cette coopération peut se traduire d’une part à l’échelle des sites, lorsque l’occasion se présente, d’autre part à l’échelle de territoires plus ou moins vastes afin de mettre en évidence l’existence de logiques spatia...
Introduction. L’habitat de hauteur entre Protohistoire et haut Moyen Âge : regards croisés
2023
L’étude des sites de hauteur est aujourd’hui une thématique largement mise à l’honneur par la recherche archéologique. En témoignent les publications collectives et manifestations scientifiques récentes sur le sujet, en particulier pour les âges des Métaux ainsi que pour l’Antiquité tardive et le haut Moyen Âge, périodes au cours desquelles cette forme d’occupation du sol tient une place particulière (pour les publications récentes sur le sujet, voir, entre autres, Delrieu, Furestier, 2018 ; ...
The Treasure in Law and Early Archaeology
2012
The problem of who should be the rightful owner of a discovered treasure, and its distribution between the finder, the owner of the land on which the treasure was found and the fisc, is as ancient as it is difficult. The parable of the treasure hidden in a field (Matthew 13:44) hinted at that problem: the man who had found the treasure in the field buried it again and bought the field. Evidently, the Bible assumed that only the owner of the land where the treasure was buried had any claim to it. Some historians of law suggested a rather simple pattern that focused on two huge legal traditions. The Roman legal tradition had ruled the ancient empire. After the end of the Middle Ages, many par…
Plausibilitat d?un ancestre comú entre les obres mitològiques de Joan Roís de Corella i les Transformacions de Francesc Alegre
2020
Between the Transformacions of Francesc Alegre (c.1452 - c.1508) and the mythological proses of Joan Roís de Corella some textual coincidences have been detected. Not without reservations, these coincidences have been explained as Corellas influence on Alegre. This is the most satisfactory explanation, given Alegre’s admiration and imitation of Corella’s prose, and Corella’s huge fame in the second half of the fifteenth century. However, Alegre knew earlier versions of Ovid’s Metamorphoses, such as that by Francesc de Pinós (1416-1475), or the anonymous Castilian version, both nowadays lost. And perhaps these versions were known by Corella too. The textual coincidences of these two authors …
