Revealing Christian Heritage. Volume II. Spain, Kartoniert / Broschiert

Klappentext

This volume collects different case studies of rediscovery of Christian antiquities between 1860-1930 in Spain, in order to stimulate reflections about the impact of these rediscoveries on our culture in a period of great political transition.

By turning the light on lesser-known stories on a national horizon, this book gives a strong contribution to the history of Christian archaeology. All articles deal with many topics of the field (museology, cultural heritage protection law, history of religion, field archaeology), and therefore offer a strong interdisciplinary cut.

This book is second product of the international online workshop series Revealing Christian Heritage. Talks on the rediscovery of Christian archaeology between 1860-1930 .
