About This Item
Donington: Paul Watkins Publishing, 2016. Book. Fine. Hardback. First Edition. 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall. A fine new copy. This sumptuous and pioneering book is a much-needed account in English of the rich architectural heritage of early medieval Spain, beautifully illustrated with the author's own professional plans, axonometric drawings and several hundred revealing photographs. It is written by a professor emeritus of the University of Strathclyde who has not only been a practicing architect with a keen understanding of the meaning of buildings, but one with a firm command of both the early sources and modern European scholarship on the subject. The book first explores the Visigothic, Asturian, Repopulation or Mozarabic background of the early Romanesque buildings in Spain, before moving to the developed Romanesque of Sant Vicenc de Cardona and many other buildings, finishing with the Pilgrimage Churches such as Santiago del Compestela. Hundreds of black and white photographs and diagrams and 114 pictures in colour. Bibliography and index. 514pp..
