Download or read book Islamic Heritage Architecture IV written by S. Hernandez and published by WIT Press. This book was released on 2022-09-13 with total page 205 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Islamic architecture has enriched design with a wide variety of structural shapes, including among others, unique arches, a wide variety of vaults and domes, which allow for new forms to be developed. This volume deals with the design of many types of buildings in Islamic countries, including not only the better known public buildings like mosques, mausoleums, citadels and forts, but also houses and gardens, engineering works such as bridges and dams, irrigation systems and many others which have also had a profound impact on society. There is much to learn from past experiences to arrive at solutions that are environmentally sound and sustainable in the long term. As conventional energy resources become scarce, the Islamic design heritage can offer invaluable lessons on how to deal in an efficient manner with cases of hard and extreme environments. Traditional architecture and urban environments in most Islamic countries are now being eroded by overemphasis on a global type of architecture and city planning. Consequently, many regions are losing their identity. The included research reviews these developments in the light of what the classical Islamic urban designs and architectures have to offer modern society.
Download or read book Christians and Muslims in Early Medieval Italy written by Luigi Andrea Berto and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2019-11-27 with total page 118 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the early Middle Ages, Italy became the target of Muslim expansionist campaigns. The Muslims conquered Sicily, ruling there for more than two centuries, and conducted many raids against the Italian Peninsula. During this period, however, Christians and Muslims were not always at war – trade flourished, and travel to the territories of the ‘other’ was not uncommon. By examining how Muslims and Christians perceived each other and how they communicated, this book brings the relationship between Muslims and Christians in early medieval Italy into clearer focus, showing that the followers of the Cross and those of the Crescent were in reality not as ignorant of one another as is commonly believed.
Download or read book The Boundaries of Europe written by Pietro Rossi and published by Walter de Gruyter GmbH & Co KG. This book was released on 2015-04-24 with total page 266 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Europe’s boundaries have mainly been shaped by cultural, religious, and political conceptions rather than by geography. This volume of bilingual essays from renowned European scholars outlines the transformation of Europe’s boundaries from the fall of the ancient world to the age of decolonization, or the end of the explicit endeavor to “Europeanize” the world.From the decline of the Roman Empire to the polycentrism of today’s world, the essays span such aspects as the confrontation of Christian Europe with Islam and the changing role of the Mediterranean from “mare nostrum” to a frontier between nations. Scandinavia, eastern Europe and the Atlantic are also analyzed as boundaries in the context of exploration, migratory movements, cultural exchanges, and war. The Boundaries of Europe, edited by Pietro Rossi, is the first installment in the ALLEA book series Discourses on Intellectual Europe, which seeks to explore the question of an intrinsic or quintessential European identity in light of the rising skepticism towards Europe as an integrated cultural and intellectual region.

Download or read book The Making of Medieval Sardinia written by and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2021-08-16 with total page 517 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This landmark volume combines classic and revisionist essays to explore the historiography of Sardinia’s exceptional transition from an island of the Byzantine empire to the rise of its own autonomous rulers, the iudikes, by the 1000s. In addition to Sardinia’s contacts with the Byzantines, Muslim North Africa and Spain, Lombard Italy, Genoa, Pisa, and the papacy, recent and older evidence is analysed through Latin, Greek and Arabic sources, vernacular charters and cartularies, the testimony of coinage, seals, onomastics and epigraphy as well as the Sardinia’s early medieval churches, arts, architecture and archaeology. The result is an important new critique of state formation at the margins of Byzantium, Islam, and the Latin West with the creation of lasting cultural, political and linguistic frontiers in the western Mediterranean. Contributors are Hervin Fernández-Aceves, Luciano Gallinari, Rossana Martorelli, Attilio Mastino, Alex Metcalfe, Marco Muresu, Michele Orrù, Andrea Pala, Giulio Paulis, Giovanni Strinna, Alberto Virdis, Maurizio Virdis, and Corrado Zedda.
Download or read book Perpetuum Mobile written by Nero Del Lào and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2013-12-16 with total page 809 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Giuseppe Tartini è un giovane violinista che come tanti, per realizzare i propri sogni, è posto davanti al dilemma se seguire la via più giusta per raggiungerli o affidarsi a percorsi più rapidi, ma oscuri. All'inizio del XVIII secolo egli si impossessa, con l'inganno, di alcuni spartiti musicali, dando così inizio ad una vita di grandi successi, ma travagliata. L'intelligenza e l'intraprendenza gli consentiranno di progredire negli studi della più varia natura, tra cui la Magia e la Teurgia, e quindi di scoprire il segreto per non morire. Molti anni dopo, la vita del conte decaduto, Andrè D'Aguilles, attento studioso di antropologia del Sud-est europeo, viene sconvolta dalle Guerre Napoleoniche. Audace ufficiale di cavalleria verrà involontariamente risucchiato nella terribile Crisi di Vampirismo che sconvolgeva l'area carpato-balcanico-danubiana. Fra Moravia, Regno d'Ungheria e Balkan selvaggio, fra indovinelli, saggi ebrei sefarditi, duelli, dolore, morte, sangue e folklore si sviluppa la caccia al misterioso Signore dei Vampiri. Tartini, Paganini e Andrè simboleggiano il Male e il Bene, e le scelte che fin da giovani si è chiamati a fare.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book brings together a number of contributions that throw a new light on the history of Jewish communities in late-medieval and early modern Italy (15th-18th centuries). The different, monographic approaches form a homogeneous interpretation of this history, a collective and original reflection on the question of Jewish minority in a broader (Christian) society. Both the Christian and the Jewish sides are taken into consideration, and an important number of chapters consider concrete situations, Jewish texts and authors very rarely studied in the research on Jewish-Christian relation.
