How does materiality affect artistic processes of object creation and reception? This volume examining carved boxes from the High and Late medieval periods deals with interrelations between material and technique. It compiles details of the origin, provenance and function of numerous boxes and also embeds production techniques, material preferences and reception aesthetics in the state of contemporary knowledge. One focus is on interactions and transfers of materials. Wood in particular was used to imitate and evoke ivory, silk and gold, which might bring about social rapprochement between the lower nobility and the higher nobility, or between the carving craftsmen and the bourgeoisie. The analysis of intermateriality establishes that materials, forms and techniques cannot be grasped in isolation. Wie wirkt sich die Materialität auf künstlerische Entstehungs- und Rezeptionsprozesse von Objekten aus? Der vorliegende Band zu geschnitzten Kästen des Hoch- und Spätmittelalters setzt sich mit Wechselbeziehungen zwischen Material und Technik auseinander. Er stellt Details zu Entstehung, Herkunft und Funktion zahlreicher Kästen zusammen und bettet Produktionstechniken, Materialpräferenzen und Rezeptionsästhetiken in den Wissensstand der Zeit ein. Ein Augenmerk liegt auf Interaktionen und Transfers der Materialien. Speziell mit Holz wurden Elfenbeine, Seide und Gold imitiert und evoziert, wodurch eine soziale Annäherung des niederen Adels an den Hochadel oder der schnitzenden Handwerker an das Bürgertum einhergehen konnte. Die Analyse zur Intermaterialität stellt fest, dass Materialien, Formen und Techniken nicht getrennt voneinander verstanden werden können. Umfassende Untersuchung zu geschnitzten Kästen des 12. bis 14. Jahrhunderts Innovativer Forschungsbeitrag zu Relation und Interaktion von Material, Produktion und Rezeption im Mittelalter

(Trans)missions: Monasteries as Sites of Cultural Transfers focuses on the Catholic tradition of consecrated life (vita religiosa) from the High Middle Ages to the present. It gathers papers by authors from various disciplinary backgrounds, in particular art history, history, anthropology and translation studies. Finally, it includes two short reports on Czech projects on monastic topics. The chronological and geographical scope of the book is focused on the Western tradition from the High Middle Ages up to the present, specifically in the territory of Central Europe and Spain along with its overseas colonies. The region of Central Europe was interconnected with the Spanish Empire through the Austrian and Spanish Habsburgs, allowing the given topic to be studied in a broader international context, and to involve the Central European and Spanish territories in the global flow of information, thus incorporating the regional and national histories of individual European countries into global history. This involvement is also enabled by the study of interconnecting themes, such as cultural transfers within and between the Old and the New World, information flows between the Spanish and Austrian Habsburgs, the processes of individual and social identity formation, representation and othering of women, and the missionary activities of mendicant orders in the New World, together with their translation practices; and by the contextualization of monastic history and related themes within the processes of European internal and external colonization and evangelization.

"In the rapidly changing world of the early Middle Ages, depictions of the cosmos represented a consistent point of reference across the three dominant states-the Frankish, Byzantine, and Islamic Empires. As these empires diverged from their Greco-Roman roots between 700 and 1000 A.D. and established distinctive medieval artistic traditions, cosmic imagery created a web of visual continuity, though local meanings of these images varied greatly. Benjamin Anderson uses thrones, tables, mantles, frescoes, and manuscripts to show how cosmological motifs informed relationships between individuals, especially the ruling elite, and communities, demonstrating how domestic and global politics informed the production and reception of these depictions. The first book to consider such imagery across the dramatically diverse cultures of Western Europe, Byzantium, and the Islamic Middle East, [it] illuminates the distinctions between the cosmological art of these three cultural spheres, and reasserts the centrality of astronomical imagery to the study of art history"--Jacket flap.
