The gorgeous illuminated Bolognese Bible that is the focus of this art history study was presumably created in the 1280s on behalf of the French cardinal Jean Cholet and exhibits a typical Bolognese decorative system based on Parisian models. The paintings in this codex draw on an array of classical motifs and reveal a painting style that requires in-depth knowledge of Byzantine art from the early Palaeologan era. In a fascinating analysis of the images, the author demonstrates the receptivity to the themes of antiquity, using as an example the Dionysian embonpoint and the representation of maenads. This exploration outlines modes of adaptation of Eastern and Western motifs and styles and reveals an illuminator who had the intellectual and artistic capacity to use his repertoire of imagery in a playful, experimental, and original manner.

Josep Lluís Mateo (born 1949) is one of Spain’s―and Europe’s―most prolific and visible architects, as energetic as a teacher and lecturer as he is an architect. Mateo has designed corporate headquarters, housing units, office blocks and hotels throughout Western Europe, and has also renovated urban centers in Gerona (Spain) and Castelo Branco (portugal). this volume looks back at nearly 30 years of Mateo’s built structures, as portrayed by the architectural photographer Adrià Goula. As well as buildings from the 80s and 90s, it also looks at his most important projects of the past few years, from the Banc Sabadell Headquarters renovation (2004) and the Factory office building in Boulogne-Billancourt, France (2010) to the PGGM Headquarters in Zeist, Holland (2011) and the Catalonian Film Theater in Barcelona (2011). Interspersed among Goula’s photographs are Mateo’s observations and musings on architecture.

In late July 1263 a public disputation was convened by King James I of Aragon, pitting Friar Paul Christian against the distinguished rabbi of Gerona, Moses ben Nahman. Organized by leading figures in the Dominican Order to give Friar Paul an opportunity to test his innovative missionizing argumentation against a worthy opponent, the spectacle in Barcelona was colorful, impressive, surely somewhat frightening to the Jews, and ultimately indecisive. Both sides claimed victory, and their documented claims have given rise to substantial disagreement among historians over the tone and outcome of this important event.Robert Chazan's masterly analysis reconstructs the Barcelona disputation from the conflicting Christian and Jewish sources and sets it in its broad historical context, with particular attention to the post-disputation maneuvers on both sides. His richly detailed account focuses on Rabbi ben Nahman's eloquent efforts to reassure his fellow Jews in the face of new missionizing pressures.
