Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not
used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad
quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are
images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to
keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the
original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain
imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made
available for future generations to enjoy.

The nineteen papers collected in this volume explore a notable
phenomenon, that of retrospection in the art and architecture of
Romanesque Europe. They arise from a conference organized by the
British Archaeological Association in 2010, and reflect its
interest in how and why the past manifested itself in the visual
culture of the 11th and 12th centuries. This took many forms, from
the casual re-use of ancient material to a specific desire to
re-present or emulate earlier objects and buildings. Central to it
is a concern for the revival of Roman and early medieval forms,
spolia, selective quotation, archaism and the construction of
histories. The individual essays presented here cover a wide range
of topics and media: the significance of consecration ceremonies in
the creation of architectural memory, the rise of pictorial
concepts in 12th-century chronicles, the creation of history in the
Paris of Hugh of St-Victor, and the appeal of the works of Bernward
of Hildesheim and of Hrabanus Maurus in the centuries after their
deaths. There are studies of buildings and the ideological purpose
behind them at Tarragona, Ripoll, Cluny, Pannonhalma (Hungary), La
Roccelletta (Calabria), and Old St Peter's, comparative studies of
Trier, Villenauxe and Glastonbury, and of Bury St Edmunds, Rievaulx
and Canterbury, and wide-ranging papers on the tantalizing evidence
for an engagement with an overseas past in Ireland, an Anglo-Saxon
past in England, and a Milanese past among the aisleless cruciform
churches of Augustinian Europe. The volume concludes with an
assessment of the very concept of Romanesque.
The chapters, written by an international group of scholars, cover
the subject from many different angles. They encompass wide-ranging
case studies that address architecture, manuscript illumination and
stained glass, as well as questions of liturgy, religion and social
life. Topics include the early medieval churches that preceded the
current cathedral church of Notre-Dame and cultural production in
the Paris area in the late 12th and early 13th centuries, as well
as Paris’s chapels and bridges. There is new evidence for the
source of the c. 1240 design for a celebrated window in the
Sainte-Chapelle, an evaluation of the liturgical arrangements in
the new shrine-choir of Saint-Denis, built 1140–44, and a
valuable assessment of the properties held by the Cistercian order
in Paris in the Middle Ages. Also investigated are relationships
between manuscript illuminators in the fourteenth century and
representations of Paris in manuscripts and other media up to the
late 15th century. Paris: The Powers that shaped the Medieval City
updates and enlarges our knowledge of this key city in the Middle
Ages and is for Medieval Archaeologists and Historians.

The Many Faces of Bereavement explores the development and
specifications of traditional models of grieving, with particular
emphasis on the relationship, age, and personal characteristics of
the mourner. In addition, the volume provides a framework of
symptomatology for nontraumatic, nonstigmatic deaths for the
purpose of comparative study. The book opens with a comprehensive
overview of the traditional models of grief, with special attention
given to the treatment of parental grief and the grief response of
the elderly following the death of a spouse. Other chapters cover
suggested typologies for traumatized and stigmatized processes of
grief that are specific to the mode of death, including murder,
drunk driving fatalities, community disasters, suicide, and
AIDS-related deaths. Finally, the authors draw on their own
personal experiences to present a summation of treatment strategies
and considerations for working with bereaved patients.

The Association's 2000 conference was held in Angers and
concentrated on the medieval art, architecture and archaeology of
greater Anjou. Extensive consideration was given to the major
surviving monuments in Angers itself and attempts were made to
explore work in the county, giving rise to papers on the production
and standardisation of building stone, comital patronage,
Cistercian architecture, castle building, wall painting, aisleless
naves, tile pavements, Angevin gothic architecture and the chateau
at Saumur. The majority of papers dealing with Angers itself are
concerned with early medieval and Romanesque material, though there
are notable excursions into 13th century stained glass and the
Anglo-French historiography of domical vaults. In keeping with the
bilingual nature of the conference, this volume contains articles
in both English and French, each article being preceded by an
extended precis in the language other than that of the main text.
Although it has not been possible to include all the papers given
at the conference most are present and it is hoped that the light
shone on some of the more intractable problems of Angevin studies
will be of value to future generations of scholars. British
Archaeological Association (BAA) Conference Transaction Series BAA
Conference Transactions contain studies on medieval art,
architecture and archaeology arising from the BAA's annual
conference. Each volume is compiled by an invited guest editor.
The 23 chapters in this volume explore the material culture of
sanctity in Latin Europe and the Mediterranean between c. 1000 and
c. 1220, with a focus on the ways in which saints and relics were
enshrined, celebrated, and displayed. Reliquary cults were
particularly important during the Romanesque period, both as a
means of affirming or promoting identity and as a conduit for the
divine. This book covers the geography of sainthood, the
development of spaces for reliquary display, the distribution of
saints across cities, the use of reliquaries to draw attention to
the attributes, and the virtues or miracle-working character of
particular saints. Individual essays range from case studies on
Verona, Hildesheim, Trondheim and Limoges, the mausoleum of Lazarus
at Autun, and the patronage of Mathilda of Canossa, to reflections
on local pilgrimage, the deployment of saints as physical
protectors, the use of imagery where possession of a saint was
disputed, island sanctuaries, and the role of Templars and
Hospitallers in the promotion of relics from the Holy Land. This
book will serve historians and archaeologists studying the
Romanesque period, and those interested in material culture and
religious practice in Latin Europe and the Mediterranean
c.1000-c.1220.
