La vulnerabilidad del patrimonio bibliográfico en los conventos y monasterios. El caso de la Provincia de Santiago
2023
El patrimonio bibliográfico adquirido a lo largo del tiempo por las órdenes religiosas, como es el fondo conservado en la Biblioteca provincial franciscana de Santiago, ha sido fruto de una actividad académica intensa que, en el momento actual, ante la escasez de vocaciones, corre un grave peligro por falta de recursos materiales y personales, lo que hace que las bibliotecas conventuales se encuentren abocadas al deterioro y posterior pérdida.
Rewriting antiquity, renewing Rome. The Identity of the Eternal City through Visual Art, Monumental Inscriptions and the Mirabilia
2011
AbstractDuring the eleventh and twelfth centuries the Church began a process of renovation (renovatio) and the city of Rome was given new meanings. Antiquity is part of the identity of the Eternal City; the reuse or reframing of aspects of antiquity inevitably transformed the image of Rome. Public spaces, architecture and objects were given new Christian readings. Inscriptions, present both in sacred and secular settings, played an important role. A similar rewriting can also be found in travel literature and descriptions of the city, such as in the Mirabilia urbis Rome, where ancient monuments were re-interpreted to demonstrate the superiority of Christianity. Inscriptions were used as sym…
De Napoléon à Hitler : les enjeux d’un pillage artistique de l’Europe

Recent publications enable us to investigate this phenomenon anew. Art is undeniably at the heart of the symbolic systems of authoritarian states, and the artistic choices are very revealing as to the nature of those regimes. When the conflict is over, the restitution of the plundered works of art gives rise to important questions in the ransacked countries, leading to a reflection on their own heritage and therefore on their identit…
Quelques réflexions sur les remplois antiques en Limousin au cours du Moyen Âge
2011
Different kinds of antique material were re-used in the Limousin region during the middle ages. In this article the authors will mostly focus on the big ashlars located in the ecclesiastical rural sites. More and more of these specific kinds of spolia are now known. Around 50 sites are identified where they were used in churches or in their surroundings (mostly sarcophagi). In most examples only few pieces were used. Nonetheless, in seven cases those blocks are numerous, and in three of them parts of antique buildings - using monumental ashlars - are incorporated into churches. It is highly probable that the spoiled monuments were mausolea. At least two of them were re-used for a Christian …
