The twenty-five papers in this volume arise from a conference
jointly organised by the British Archaeological Association and the
Museu Nacional d'Art de Catalunya in Barcelona. They explore the
making of art and architecture in Latin Europe and the
Mediterranean between c. 1000 and c. 1250, with a particular focus
on questions of patronage, design and instrumentality. No previous
studies of patterns of artistic production during the Romanesque
period rival the breadth of coverage encompassed by this volume -
both in terms of geographical origin and media, and in terms of
historical approach. Topics range from case studies on Santiago de
Compostela, the Armenian Cathedral in Jerusalem and the Winchester
Bible to reflections on textuality and donor literacy, the culture
of abbatial patronage at Saint-Michel de Cuxa and the re-invention
of slab relief sculpture around 1100. The volume also includes
papers that attempt to recover the procedures that coloured
interaction between artists and patrons - a serious theme in a
collection that opens with 'Function, condition and process in
eleventh-century Anglo-Norman church architecture' and ends with a
consideration of 'The death of the patron'.
