Medieval Toledo is famous as a center of Arabic learning and as a
home to sizable Jewish, Muslim, and Christian communities. Yet its
cathedral—one of the largest, richest, and best preserved in all
of Europe—is little known outside Spain. In Toledo Cathedral, Tom
Nickson provides the first in-depth analysis of the cathedral’s
art and architecture. Focusing on the early thirteenth to the late
fourteenth centuries, he examines over two hundred years of change
and consolidation, tracing the growth of the cathedral in the city
as well as the evolution of sacred places within the cathedral
itself. He goes on to consider this substantial monument in terms
of its location in Toledo, Spain’s most cosmopolitan city in the
medieval period. Nickson also addresses the importance and symbolic
significance of Toledo’s cathedral to the city and the art and
architecture of the medieval Iberian Peninsula, showing how it fits
in with broader narratives of change in the arts, culture, and
ideology of the late medieval period in Spain and in Mediterranean
Europe as a whole.
