by a Belgian metalworking school, exploring the interrelationships between their various elements, especially the role of parchment images. The style of these miniatures is closely related to contemporary illumination, helping to resolve dating disputes and raising questions about the relationship between metalworkers and illuminators. Finally, the article also explores the phenomenon of unbound parchment miniatures in medieval Gothic art.</div> </div> </div> <div id="raw_abstract" class="tab-pane "> <div class="abstract-panel panel-box mb-0 rounded shadow-none"> <div class="f16">Around 1260, the school of metalwork associated with the Augustinian priory of Oignies in south central Belgium produced three altar crosses that share a distinctive and unusual characteristic: the incorporation of painted miniatures into their multimedia decor of stamped openwork gold filigree, gemstones, and niello engravings. Concentrating on the cross now in the Victoria and Albert Museum in London, this article explores the interrelationships among its various elements, especially the role played by the parchment images. Their Marian and Christological themes add explicit iconographic meaning to the symbolism present in foliate elements of the metalwork and to the identity and arrangement of gems. The relic lists on the cross identify locally venerated saints. Together the miniatures and relics reflect the liturgical use of the London Cross and its possible connection with more personal devotion. The styles of the miniatures point to close associations with contemporary illumination in the Hainaut region of the Liege diocese and help to resolve arguments about the dating of this cross and related works, while their presence invites inquiry into the relationship between metalworkers and illuminators. Setting the crosses into a wider cultural context, finally, the inclusion of illuminations invites exploration of the phenomenon of unbound parchment miniatures in medieval Gothic art on book covers, portable altars, reliquaries, and other crosses, raising questions about why miniatures were used, what subjects were normally selected, and how the Mosan crosses compare with these other multimedia works.</div> </div> </div> </div> </div> <div class="f15 panel-box rounded shadow-none border"> <h4 class="mt-0 heading-count">Authors</h4> <div class="mb-3"> <article-authors tid="83819358" list="[{"name":"Judith Hathaway Oliver","sequence":1}]" verified="[]" page="work" ></article-authors> </div> <div class="alert alert-warning mb-0"> <h5 class="mt-0 bg-warning text-dark px-3 rounded d-inline-block"> I am an author on this paper </h5> <div class="font-weight-bold f13"> Click your name to claim this paper and add it to your profile. </div> </div> </div> <div class="f15 panel-box rounded shadow-none border"> <h4 class="mt-0 heading-count">Reviews</h4> <div class="d-flex flex-wrap flex-md-nowrap"> <div class="flex-grow-1"> <h4 class="f16"> Primary Rating <a href="javascript:;" data-toggle="tooltip" data-placement="right" title="The primary rating indicates the level of overall quality for the paper."> <i class="ivu-icon ivu-icon-md-help-circle f18 ml-2"></i> </a> </h4> <div class="d-flex flex-wrap flex-md-nowrap align-items-center alert mb-0"> <div class="d-flex align-items-center justify-content-center"> <Rate disabled allow-half value="3.8" style="font-size: 28px;"></Rate> <strong class="f20 m-3" style="color: #f5a623;">3.8</strong> </div> <div class="text-muted mx-4"> Not enough ratings </div> </div> <h4 class="f16"> Secondary Ratings <a href="javascript:;" data-toggle="tooltip" data-placement="right" title="Secondary ratings independently reflect strengths or weaknesses of the paper."> <i class="ivu-icon ivu-icon-md-help-circle f18 ml-2"></i> </a> </h4> <div class="d-flex flex-wrap flex-md-nowrap alert"> <div class="d-flex flex-shrink-0 align-items-center mr-3"> <h5 class="my-0">Novelty</h5> <strong class="mx-4">-</strong> </div> <div class="d-flex flex-shrink-0 align-items-center mr-3"> <h5 class="my-0">Significance</h5> <strong class="mx-4">-</strong> </div> <div class="d-flex flex-shrink-0 align-items-center mr-3"> <h5 class="my-0">Scientific rigor</h5> <strong class="mx-4">-</strong> </div> </div> </div> <div class="flex-shrink-0"> <div class="border bg-light py-2 px-4"> <h5 class="mb-1">Rate this paper</h5> <Rate class="f24" @on-change="function(value){ location.href='https://www.peeref.com/works/83819358/comments?rating='+value }"></Rate> </div> </div> </div> </div> <div id="collection" class="f15 panel-box rounded shadow-none border"> <h4 class="mt-0 heading-count">Recommended</h4> <div class="my-3"> <ul class="nav nav-pills border-bottom pb-3" style="list-style: none;

Although bismuth and bismuth-containing minerals have been used in artistic production for centuries, they had not been previously documented in portrait miniatures. Raman analysis and XRF data confirm the presence of bismuth oxychloride (BiOCl) as a white pigment. This study is a first step in rediscovering bismuth white as an artist's pigment and encourages other institutions to investigate the use of this rare white material in their collections. </div> </div> <div class="d-flex justify-content-between"> <p class="font-weight-bold"> <span class="text-primary">MINERALS</span> (2024) </p> <div class="flex-shrink-0"> <a class="btn btn-outline-primary btn-sm" href="https://www.peeref.com/works/83444327/add-to-collection" target="_blank"> <strong>Add to Collection</strong> </a> </div> </div> </div> <div class="my-4 border-bottom"> <div> <span class="d-inline-block badge badge-blue"> Article </span> <span class="d-inline-block badge badge-cyan"> Zoology </span> </div> <h4> <a href="https://www.peeref.com/works/28733260" class="text-dark hover-underline">Comparing shell size and shape with canonical variate analysis of sympatric Biomphalaria species within Lake Albert and Lake Victoria, Uganda</a> </h4> <p class="text-ellipsis-2">Peter S.

Early Byzantine veneration of Demetrios focused on visual perception and emphasized the human ability to perceive the divine with spiritual senses. However, with the appearance of myron at Demetrios's shrine, the cult shifted its focus towards bodily relics and the desire for physical contact with them. </div> </div> <div class="d-flex justify-content-between"> <p class="font-weight-bold"> <span class="text-primary">GESTA-INTERNATIONAL CENTER OF MEDIEVAL ART</span> (2023) </p> <div class="flex-shrink-0"> <a class="btn btn-outline-primary btn-sm" href="https://www.peeref.com/works/29083557/add-to-collection" target="_blank"> <strong>Add to Collection</strong> </a> </div> </div> </div> <div class="my-4 border-bottom"> <div> <span class="d-inline-block badge badge-blue"> Article </span> <span class="d-inline-block badge badge-cyan"> Art </span> </div> <h4> <a href="https://www.peeref.com/works/83819167" class="text-dark hover-underline">The Columns from the Tomb of Charlemagne between Aachen and the Louvre: A Modern Spoliation Saga</a> </h4> <p class="text-ellipsis-2">Brigitte Buettner</p> <div class="d-flex mb-3"> <div class="p-3 rounded" style="background-color: #e8f3ff;"> <strong>Summary:</strong> This article examines the French army's conquest of Aachen in 1794 and the subsequent looting of cultural assets, which were transported to Paris. These spoils were used to showcase Paris's cultural supremacy and became important collections in modern museums. Ten columns from Aachen were incorporated into the architectural fabric of the Louvre, becoming part of the national patrimony. The article also studies the symbolic significance of these columns during the Napoleonic era and their legitimacy in modern museums. </div> </div> <div class="d-flex justify-content-between"> <p class="font-weight-bold"> <span class="text-primary">GESTA-INTERNATIONAL CENTER OF MEDIEVAL ART</span> (2024) </p> <div class="flex-shrink-0"> <a class="btn btn-outline-primary btn-sm" href="https://www.peeref.com/works/83819167/add-to-collection" target="_blank"> <strong>Add to Collection</strong> </a> </div> </div> </div> <div class="my-4 border-bottom"> <div> <span class="d-inline-block badge badge-blue"> Article </span> <span class="d-inline-block badge badge-cyan"> Art </span> </div> <h4> <a href="https://www.peeref.com/works/29083559" class="text-dark hover-underline">An African Constantine in the Twelfth Century: The Architecture of the Early Zagwe Dynasty and Egyptian Episcopal Authority</a> </h4> <p class="text-ellipsis-2">Mikael Muehlbauer</p> <div class="d-flex mb-3"> <div class="p-3 rounded" style="background-color: #e8f3ff;"> <strong>Summary:</strong> Sometime around the mid-twelfth century, two ancient structures in Ethiopia's northern province of T partial derivative gray were converted into churches or reconsecrated, playing important roles in the emerging kingdom.

The book's designer demonstrates inventiveness by incorporating unique love designs and manipulating traditional visual motifs. Although the commissioner and intended audience remain unknown, it is likely that an unidentified woman associated with the earls of Arundel and Surrey requested the book for a young man. </div> </div> <div class="d-flex justify-content-between"> <p class="font-weight-bold"> <span class="text-primary">GESTA-INTERNATIONAL CENTER OF MEDIEVAL ART</span> (2023) </p> <div class="flex-shrink-0"> <a class="btn btn-outline-primary btn-sm" href="https://www.peeref.com/works/28025943/add-to-collection" target="_blank"> <strong>Add to Collection</strong> </a> </div> </div> </div> <div class="my-4 border-bottom"> <div> <span class="d-inline-block badge badge-blue"> Article </span> <span class="d-inline-block badge badge-cyan"> Art </span> </div> <h4> <a href="https://www.peeref.com/works/28025944" class="text-dark hover-underline">Between Wonder and Omen: Conjoined Twins and the Mandylion from Constantinople to Norman Sicily</a> </h4> <p class="text-ellipsis-2">Roland Betancourt</p> <div class="d-flex mb-3"> <div class="p-3 rounded" style="background-color: #e8f3ff;"> <strong>Summary:</strong> This article examines the depiction of two wonders that arrived in Constantinople in 944: the Mandylion, a textile imprinted with an image of Christ's face, and male conjoined twins from Armenia. The focus is on their multifaceted meanings in the context of imperial rule, political intrigue, and religious authority, from the text's origin in Constantinople to the manuscript's illumination in Norman Sicily. </div> </div> <div class="d-flex justify-content-between"> <p class="font-weight-bold"> <span class="text-primary">GESTA-INTERNATIONAL CENTER OF MEDIEVAL ART</span> (2023) </p> <div class="flex-shrink-0"> <a class="btn btn-outline-primary btn-sm" href="https://www.peeref.com/works/28025944/add-to-collection" target="_blank"> <strong>Add to Collection</strong> </a> </div> </div> </div> <div class="my-4 border-bottom"> <div> <span class="d-inline-block badge badge-blue"> Article </span> <span class="d-inline-block badge badge-cyan"> Art </span> </div> <h4> <a href="https://www.peeref.com/works/82013645" class="text-dark hover-underline">Monastic Imagination and Historical Preservation: The Role of Geoffrey Martel in the Translatio Scene on the Shrine of the Holy Tear at the Abbey of La Trinite, Vendome</a> </h4> <p class="text-ellipsis-2">Anne Heath</p> <div class="d-flex mb-3"> <div class="p-3 rounded" style="background-color: #e8f3ff;"> <strong>Summary:</strong> This article explores the depiction of Geoffrey Martel, the 11th-century founder of the Benedictine abbey of La Trinité, in a 13th-century stone shrine's sculptural program. Despite his less-than-virtuous character, the monks commemorated him as a loyal Capetian vassal and brave crusader. Comparing the shrine's translatio narrative to a later vernacular poem, this article argues that the shrine and poem are part of a visual and textual culture that grew out of established crusader legends. Although Geoffrey's presence on the shrine has not received much scholarly attention, the drawing can be seen as evidence of the monks' success in transforming him from a mid-level member of the French nobility into a great crusader and vassal of the king of France. </div> </div> <div class="d-flex justify-content-between"> <p class="font-weight-bold"> <span class="text-primary">GESTA-INTERNATIONAL CENTER OF MEDIEVAL ART</span> (2024) </p> <div class="flex-shrink-0"> <a class="btn btn-outline-primary btn-sm" href="https://www.peeref.com/works/82013645/add-to-collection" target="_blank"> <strong>Add to Collection</strong> </a> </div> </div> </div> <div class="my-4 border-bottom"> <div> <span class="d-inline-block badge badge-blue"> Article </span> <span class="d-inline-block badge badge-cyan"> Art </span> </div> <h4> <a href="https://www.peeref.com/works/28025941" class="text-dark hover-underline">Forging the Augustinian Past: The Rule-Giving of Saint Augustine in a Duecento Gradual</a> </h4> <p class="text-ellipsis-2">Krisztina Ilko</p> <div class="d-flex mb-3"> <div class="p-3 rounded" style="background-color: #e8f3ff;"> <strong>Summary:</strong> This study examines the growth of the Rule-giving image of the Augustinian friars using a well-preserved and elaborate late-duecento gradual manuscript. It analyzes the contextual factors and unique features of the illumination to shed new light on the cult of saints among the Augustinian friars and their connection to Saint Augustine. The manuscript, created during a period of threat to the order, reflects the order's assertion of Saint Augustine as its founder and demonstrates how patronage and art could be used to navigate political challenges. </div> </div> <div class="d-flex justify-content-between"> <p class="font-weight-bold"> <span class="text-primary">GESTA-INTERNATIONAL CENTER OF MEDIEVAL ART</span> (2023) </p> <div class="flex-shrink-0"> <a class="btn btn-outline-primary btn-sm" href="https://www.peeref.com/works/28025941/add-to-collection" target="_blank"> <strong>Add to Collection</strong> </a> </div> </div> </div> <div class="my-4 border-bottom"> <div> <span class="d-inline-block badge badge-blue"> Article </span> <span class="d-inline-block badge badge-cyan"> Art </span> </div> <h4> <a href="https://www.peeref.com/works/82013568" class="text-dark hover-underline">Singing the Magnificat from Prague to Siena: Altarpieces for the Feast of the Visitation, 1386-1423</a> </h4> <p class="text-ellipsis-2">Juliette Calvarin</p> <div class="d-flex mb-3"> <div class="p-3 rounded" style="background-color: #e8f3ff;"> <strong>Summary:</strong> This article examines the reception of the Feast of the Visitation in Siena during the Great Western Schism and the two altarpieces associated with it.

The traditional view holds that Byzantium played an insignificant role in the development of heraldry, but the analysis of evidence predating the Crusades reveals that heraldry did not emerge late in Byzantium. The appearance of heraldic animals on the shields of two warrior saints in the church of St. Panteleimon at Nerezi in 1164 reflects the simultaneous development of heraldry in northern France and England. The emergence of heraldry is related to the transformation of the mentality of the Komnenian aristocracy, who increasingly focused on values such as martial prowess and noble descent. </div> </div> <div class="d-flex justify-content-between"> <p class="font-weight-bold"> <span class="text-primary">GESTA-INTERNATIONAL CENTER OF MEDIEVAL ART</span> (2024) </p> <div class="flex-shrink-0"> <a class="btn btn-outline-primary btn-sm" href="https://www.peeref.com/works/82013553/add-to-collection" target="_blank"> <strong>Add to Collection</strong> </a> </div> </div> </div> <div class="my-4 border-bottom"> <div> <span class="d-inline-block badge badge-blue"> Article </span> <span class="d-inline-block badge badge-cyan"> Art </span> </div> <h4> <a href="https://www.peeref.com/works/82013655" class="text-dark hover-underline">Identifying a Literary Antecedent to the Siege of the Castle of Love in Gothic Ivories</a> </h4> <p class="text-ellipsis-2">Christopher Snow Hopkins</p> <div class="d-flex mb-3"> <div class="p-3 rounded" style="background-color: #e8f3ff;"> <strong>Summary:</strong> This article explores the literary antecedent of the motif of the Siege of the Castle of Love in medieval European art, namely Andreas Capellanus's De amore.

In these churches, the familiar scene of a man wrestling a lion is accompanied by additional attackers besieging the beast. This iconographic variation, which emerged around 1200, seems to convey a partisan message denouncing the kingdom of Leon as an enemy of the Church in this border zone between warring kingdoms. </div>
