La mesura del peu medieval a Santa Maria de Poblet : la mesura dels carreus medievals = The measure of the medieval foot in Saint Mary of Poblet : the measure of medieval ashlar
Publicacions ETSAB, 2021Co-Authors: Lloveras Montserrat JoaquínAbstract:Descripció del recurs: 17 de desembre de 2015Un únic sistema de mesura medieval que conté, entre altres unitats, el Peu. L’objectiu d’aquest document és exposar com, a la Capella de Sant Esteve de Poblet, es pot verificar l’afirmació de que a l’edat medieval es va usar, a l’Europa cristiana, un únic sistema de mesures per a la construcció dels edificis religiosos. També constatar la idea que el conjunt de les mesures emprades pels constructors medievals son, senzillament, les que tenen els carreus tallats pels picapedrers. Una de les Principals Mesures emprades a l’Època medieval fou el Peu, a Santa Maria de Poblet també. El podem trobar, com més endavant veurem, a les Mesures dels seus carreus. Les altres unitats del sistema únic de mesura medieval, també.A single medieval measurement system formed, among other units, by the Foot. The purpose of this document is to explain how, in the Chapel of Saint Stephen of Poblet, we can verify the afirmation that in the Middle Ages was used, in Christian Europe, a single system of measure for the construction of Religious Buildings. Also verify the idea that the whole of measures used by medieval builders are, simply, those that have the stones cut by masons. One of the main measures used in the Middle Ages was the Foot, in Saint Mary of Poblet too. We may find the Foot, as we will see below, in the measurements of their cut stones. The other units of system of measurement medieval, too

Oficina de Publicacions Acadèmiques Digitals de la UPC, 2021Co-Authors: Lloveras Montserrat JoaquínAbstract:Textos en català, francès i castellà; preàmbul en català, anglès, francès i castellàUn dels punts més importants de la meva Tesi Doctoral i de la seva conseqüent interpretació i concreció al llarg de molts anys, és que tots els edificis religiosos estaven dirigits al gaudi visual de la Persona, que era la veritable protagonista de l’espai de l’obra. La llum solar era símbol de la Veritable Llum, la divina, i la Persona rebia inputs visuals en apropar-s’hi ... o allunyar-s’hi d’Ella. L’element més important de la composició fou el fixar el punt, a l’eix de la nau eclesial, des d’on la Persona penetrava dins de la Llum absidal, el lloc de la Llum. Aquest punt era el indicat per la llum solar que, introduint-se pel mur occidental o pel de ponent, en un dia de l’any i a una hora precisa, indicava a l’eix el lloc on la Persona podia gaudir un màximum de la llum absidal Aquest dia era el que responia al de la dedicació de la nau, o a grans commemoracions cristianes (referides al Crist, a la Verge, als Sants ...), però també hi trobem alguns casos en que indiquen el lloc del martiri o de les despulles del Sant, o referits als solsticis o equinoccis. Hi ha dos grans models: el del sol ixent, i el del sol ponent. Aquest fet comprovat, que uneix les nostres sensibilitats visuals i místiques, és el que aporta de nou aquest escrit.One of the most important points of my doctoral thesis and of its subsequent interpretation and concretion over many years is that all Religious Buildings were intended for the visual enjoyment of the Person, who was the real protagonist of the space of the work. The light of the sun was a symbol of the True Light, the divine, and the Person received visual signals as he approached ... or moved away from her. The most important element of the composition was to fix the precise point, on the axis of the ecclesiastical nave, from where the Person entered the apsidal Light, the place of the Light. This point was indicated by the sunlight which, entering through the west or west wall, on a day of the year and at a precise time, indicated on the axis the place where the Person could enjoy the maximum of the Apse light. This day was the one that responded to the consecration of the nave, or to the great Christian commemorations (referring to Christ, the Virgin, the Saints ...), but we also find some cases in which they indicate the place of martyrdom or remains of the Saint, or referred to the solstices or equinoxes. There are two major models: the rising sun and the setting sun. This proven fact, which unites our visual and mystical sensibilities, is what this writing brings back.L'un des points les plus importants de ma thèse de doctorat et de son interprétation et de sa concrétion consécutives pendent nombreuses années, est que tous les édifices religieux étaient destinés à la jouissance visuelle de la Personne, laquelle était le véritable protagoniste de l'espace de l'œuvre. La lumière du soleil était un symbole de la Vraie Lumière, la divine, et la Personne recevait des signaux visuels alors qu'elle s'approchait ... ou s'éloignait d'elle. L'élément le plus important de la composition était de fixer le point précis, sur l'axe de la nef ecclésiastique, d'où la Personne pénétrait dans la Lumière absidiale, le lieu de la Lumière. Ce point était indiqué par la lumière du soleil qui, entrant par le mur ouest ou ouest, un jour de l'année et à une heure précise, indiquait sur l'axe l'endroit où la Personne pouvait jouir d'un maximum de la lumière de l'Abside. Ce jour était celui qui répondait à la consécration de la nef, ou aux grandes commémorations chrétiennes (se référant au Christ, à la Vierge, aux Saints ...), mais on retrouve aussi quelques cas dans lesquels ils indiquent le lieu du martyre ou des restes du Saint, ou renvoyé aux solstices ou équinoxes. Il existe deux modèles majeurs: le soleil levant et le soleil couchant. Ce fait avéré, qui unit nos sensibilités visuelle et mystique, c'est ce que cette écriture ramène.Uno de los puntos más importantes de mi Tesis Doctoral y de su consecuente interpretación y concreción a lo largo de muchos años, es que todos los edificios religiosos estaban dirigidos al disfrute visual de la Persona, que era la verdadera protagonista del espacio de la obra.

A methodology in choosing a new compatible function in the recovery project of disused Religious Buildings. Research study in Italy
'Universitat Politecnica de Valencia', 2020Co-Authors: Ribera Federica, Cucco PasqualeAbstract:[EN] The phenomenon of abandoned Religious Buildings is today felt in many countries of the world and particularly in Europe, where the problem has taken on such dimensions as to worry the ecclesiastical institutions, which are encouraging to work with particular caution in order to avoid improper use and to consider each case according to its historical peculiarities. The topic involves many actors (clergy, population, associations, tourists, traders, etc.) since it has several meanings: Social, because Religious Buildings have held together many generations; Economic, because these places fascinate foreign visitors; Environmental, because their physical presence in the urban or rural landscape revives contexts and traditions; Cultural, because sacred Buildings represent the largest portfolio of European historical heritage. From 2018, the Holy See encouraged to produce recommendations especially oriented towards new functional, social and architectural choices able to preserve both the material and spiritual value of the artefacts over time.By starting from an analysis of the theme, the contribution provides a methodological approach in searching for a new compatible function, in accordance with the new programmatic guidelines and the principles of the discipline of architectural conservation and recovery, applying it to the case of the old abandoned convents in the historical centre of Salerno in Italy.Ribera, F.; Cucco, P.

Decanal church of St. Bartholomeus: The picture of decanal church on the background of the evolution of the medieval Pelhřimov
2018Co-Authors: Peltan VáclavAbstract:This bachelor thesis deals with the question about the beginning of the town Pelhřimov which belonged to Řečice the estate of Prague bishops as well as the development of Religious Buildings in this town. In the old pre-location settlement existed from the middle 12th century the church of St. Vitus, to which in the early 14th century was added the church of Virgin Mary In The Walls (during the Reformation was its patrocinium changed to patrocinium St. Bartholomew the Apostle). After a confusing period of the Hussite revolt and the subsequent reorganization of the Church in Bohemia the church of St. Vitus in the suburbs began to slowly losing its importance as a church of Virgin Mary within the walls fully developed and became a the parish church, later decanal. Based on my own research, unpublished studies and reconstructive models I am presenting the form of decanal church in Pelhřimov in time of founding, at the turn of the 13th and 14th century in which slight changes remained until the mid-16th century. The construction phase is often neglected in the literature, and it is not yet sufficiently investigated nor targeted. This bachelor thesis is supplementing the gap in knowlege of Pelhřimov's decanal church. Keywords Pelhřimov, decanal church, the 14s century, Middle Ages, early gothic, basilic

Decanal church of St. Bartholomeus: The picture of decanal church on the background of the evolution of the medieval Pelhřimov
Univerzita Karlova Katolická teologická fakulta, 2018Co-Authors: Peltan VáclavAbstract:This bachelor thesis deals with the question about the beginning of the town Pelhřimov which belonged to Řečice the estate of Prague bishops as well as the development of Religious Buildings in this town.

The construction phase is often neglected in the literature, and it is not yet sufficiently investigated nor targeted. This bachelor thesis is supplementing the gap in knowlege of Pelhřimov's decanal church. Keywords Pelhřimov, decanal church, the 14s century, Middle Ages, early gothic, basilicaTato bakalářská práce se zabývá dosud ne zcela zodpovězenou otázkou počátků města Pelhřimova na řečickém panství pražských biskupů a vývoje sakrálních staveb v tomto sídle. Ve starém předlokačním osídlení existoval již od pol. 12. stol. kostel sv. Víta, k němuž počátkem 14. stol. přibyl kostel Matky Boží ve zdech (později při reformaci bylo jeho patrocinium změněno na patrocinium sv. Bartoloměje apoštola). Po značně složitém období husitských bouří a následné církevní reorganizaci kostel sv. Víta na předměstí pomalu ztrácel na svém významu, zatímco kostel v hradbách se plně rozvinul a stal se chrámem farním a později i děkanským. Na základě vlastního výzkumu, doposud nepublikovaných studií a rekonstrukčních modelů, tedy předkládám podobu pelhřimovského děkanského kostela v době založení, tedy na přelomu 13. a 14. stol., v níž s malými změnami setrval až do poloviny 16. stol. Tato stavební fáze bývá v literatuře opomíjena a není ještě dostatečně prozkoumána ani zaměřena. Ve své práci si tedy kladu za cíl tuto výraznou mezeru v poznání pelhřimovského děkanského chrámu doplnit.

earthquakes religion and transition to self government in italian cities
Quarterly Journal of Economics, 2016Co-Authors: Marianna Belloc, Francesco Drago, Roberto GalbiatiAbstract:This article presents a unique historical experiment to explore the dynamics of institutional change in the Middle Ages. We have assembled a novel data set, where information on political institutions for northern central Italian cities between 1000 and 1300 is matched with detailed information on the earthquakes that occurred in the area and period of interest. Exploiting the panel structure of the data, we document that the occurrence of an earthquake retarded institutional transition from autocratic regimes to self-government (the commune) in cities where the political and the Religious leaders were the same person (episcopal see cities), but not in cities where political and Religious powers were distinct (non–episcopal see cities). Such differential effect holds for destructive seismic episodes and for events that were felt by the population but did not cause any material damage to persons or objects. Ancillary results show that seismic events provoked a positive and statistically significant differential effect on the construction and further ornamentation of Religious Buildings between episcopal and non–episcopal see cities. Our findings are consistent with the idea that earthquakes, interpreted in the Middle Ages as manifestation of the will and outrage of God, represented a shock to people’s Religious beliefs and, as a consequence, enhanced the ability of political-Religious leaders to restore social order after a crisis relative to the emerging communal institutions. This interpretation is supported by historical evidence.
