Visual Histories from Medieval Iberia

This volume challenges popular assumptions and academic pieties​ regarding religion and identity on the Iberian​ Peninsula during the Middle​ Ages. Its studies of individual works of art and architecture uncoil complex​ histories from this religiously plural peninsula, intertwining social, cultural,​ and political identities across seven centuries. Chronicling relationships​ between religious groups that were neither idyllic nor irreconcilable, these​ works of art reveal instead expressions of religious separateness balanced​ within ambivalent and dynamic shared visual identities.
