Featuring eight innovative studies by prominent scholars of medieval art and architecture, this special issue of Medieval Encounters examines the specific means by which art and architectural forms, techniques, and ideas were transmitted throughout the medieval world (ca. 1000-1500). While focusing on the Mediterranean region, the collection also includes essays that expand this geographic zone into a cultural and artistic one by demonstrating contact with near and distant neighbors, thereby allowing an expanded understanding of the interconnectedness of the medieval world. The studies are united by a focus on the specific mechanisms that enabled artistic and architectural interaction, as well as the individuals who facilitated these transmissions. Authors also consider the effects and collaboration of portable and monumental arts in the creation of intercultural artistic traditions. Contributors are: Justine Andrews, Maria Georgopoulou, Ludovico Geymonat, Heather E. Grossman, Eva Hoffman, Melanie Michailidis, Renata Holod, Scott Redford and Alicia Walker.

Nato dal vasto e pluriennale progetto di censimento e studio della scultura tra XIII e XVI secolo nell'area delle Alpi occidentali, il volume fa da catalogo alle sei esposizioni temporanee incentrate sul culto dei santi nell'antico ducato di Savoia, corrispondente a territori italiani, svizzeri e francesi, che si terranno nell'estate 2013 ad Aosta, Susa, Annecy, Chambéry, Sion e Ginevra. Ciascuna mostra illustra la produzione di statue di santi e le specifiche devozioni mettendo in rilievo le differenze locali e analizzando sia il contesto artistico e le pratiche religiose, sia l'iconografia e la simbologia legata agli attributi - che nel caso dei santi più venerati registra notevoli varianti - attraverso il confronto con dipinti, oreficerie e tessuti. Il Musée-Château di Annecy, in collaborazione col Museo Civico d'Arte Antica di Torino, esamina il ruolo di Sant'Antonio abate come taumaturgo, in relazione alla fondazione di enti ospedalieri sui due versanti alpini; il Museo del Tesoro della cattedrale di Aosta illustra il culto di santi "locali" come San Grato e Sant'Orso; il Museo Diocesano di Susa espone materiali sui santi legati ai passi alpini e al tema del transito e del viaggio (San Gottardo, San Bernardo, San Cristoforo); il Musée Cantonal d'Histoire di Sion indaga il rapporto tra devozione e potere rispetto al culto di San Maurizio e San Teodulo.
