The Mitre: Its Origins and Early Development /
:
The story of the mitre began during the 11th-century church reform movements and was, surprisingly, inspired by a popular pastime. After a thousand years of bare heads, the Church finally had an official hat, signaling newly-structured internal dynamics, an increase in power and influence in society, and greater parity with secular leaders.

Cittadini of Venice : Shaping Identities between Networks and Patronage (c. 1530-1690) /
:
In this volume Giulia Zanon sheds new light on our grasp of social hierarchy and the possibilities for social mobility in pre-modern Italy. By adopting an interdisciplinary approach that combines deep archival research with a multitude of artistic and architectural artefacts, this work breaks new ground by contextualizing the part played by social relationships and the arts in publicly affirming and displaying the prestige of the middling sorts, the cittadini , in early modern Venice.

Medieval Treasures of Toledo Cathedral : Artworks, Relics, Texts, and Textiles /
:
With Medieval Treasures of Toledo Cathedral: Artworks, Relics, Texts, and Textiles , the Treasury Project continues exploring how treasuries accommodated the evolving interests of their holders across the Middle Ages. Following up on The Medieval Iberian Treasury in the Context of Cultural Interchange, Expanded Edition (Brill, 2020), this volume focuses on a selection of the precious objects and multiple inventories of Toledo Cathedral (12th-16th centuries). Methodologies from art history, material culture, history, and archaeology are drawn upon, analyzing inventories together with textiles, metalworks, enamels, rock crystals, ivories, and illuminated manuscripts. Artifacts act as evidence alongside archival sources, while technical analyses make crucial contributions to the story that long-lived objects can tell us about their origins, functions, changing meanings, and reuse in medieval Iberia. Contributors are Xosé-Lois Armada, Silvia Armando, Ana Cabrera Lafuente, María Judith Feliciano, Julie A. Harris, Francisco J. Hernández, Jitske Jasperse, Therese Martin, Ignacio Montero-Ruiz, Tom Nickson, and Shannon L. Wearing.
