Specifikacia Medieval Bologna: Art for a University City Kennedy Trinita
Richly illustrated, this is the first major study in English to explore the art made during the late Middle Ages in Bologna, home to the oldest university in Europe.Beginning in the late eleventh century, masters and students flocked to Bologna to study Roman law, creating the academic setting that gave rise to the city's unique artistic culture. Professors enjoyed high social status, tombs carved with classroom scenes made for impressive lecture halls, and, most important, teachers and students created a tremendous demand for books. By the mid-thirteenth century, the city had become the preeminent center for manuscript production in Italy.Accompanying a major exhibition at Nashville's Frist Art Museum, the essays by academics, curators, and educators in Medieval Bologna create a rich context for the nearly seventy works of art in the exhibition.
