Paperback, xvii + 594 pages, Size:165 x 240 mm, Illustrations:12 b/w, 115 col., 9 maps b/w, Language(s):English, French, Spanish. ISBN 9782503606583. Throughout the Middle Ages, the choice of a particular burial place remains a fundamental question in someone's life. Summary Assembling the contributions of twenty-two authors, this volume aims at revisiting the question of the choice of burial sites throughout the Middle Ages, in their political, emotional, and devotional dimensions, across a wide chronology and in a vast palette of different social statuses. The choice of a burial site inevitably reflets very important statements, made by the living persons, not only regarding what they wished the memory of their passage on Earth to be, but equally enlightening us on what their concern for the future of their souls was and how it should be cared for, in the afterlife. The first part of this volume is devoted to royal pantheons, considering their development and relevance in the construction of royal legitimacy. Kings and Queens were not the only ones considering their lineage and personal memory: noblemen, ecclesiastics, rich tradesmen, and their wives and daughters, were also involved in a world of changing tendencies, which are dealt with in the second part of the book. The third and last part looks at the strategies and interconnection between building a burial site and constructing collective memories, whether in stone or in writing through the performing influence of rituals, images, or symbols. This book proposes, therefore a whole new set of approaches on the subject, addressed either in interdisciplinary and all-around syntheses or via analysis of specific case-studies, looking at panteons and other burial sites as the important witnesses of the lives, emotions, and devotions of the medieval society they served. Contributors to this volume are Xavier Barral i Altet, Catarina Fernandes Barreira, Thiago Jos Borges, Maria Helena Cruz Coelho, Frederica Cosenza, Antonio Pio de Cosmo, Lorenzo Curatella, M rio Farelo, Jos Rom n Gonz lez de la Cal, Linsy Grant, Laurent Hablot, Orlindo Jorge, Emma Lano Mart nez, Christian de M rindol, Sonia Morales Cano, Jorge Mor n Pablos, Pedro Redol, Martina Saltamacchia, Isabel S nchez Ramos, Lydwine Scordia, Rosa Smurra and Christian Steer.
