L'architecture est matériau avant que d'être forme. L'histoire traditionnelle de l'architecture tend à faire oublier cette évidence au bénéfice d'une approche dominée par des concepts stylistiques. Or ceux-ci s'avèrent toujours impropres à rendre compte de l'extraordinaire complexité du mouvement créatif qui conduit le génie humain à passer du produit manufacturé de base - ici la brique - à l'œuvre d'art qui constitue l'église, la porte de ville, le château ou la maison médiévale. L'enjeu de cet ouvrage est de montrer comment la brique s'est imposée en Espagne comme matériau de construction à la fin de l'époque médiévale, au terme d'un parcours historique au cours duquel elle fut, tour à tour et de manière infiniment variée, appréciée pour ses qualités pratiques, architectoniques, décoratives, mais aussi, de façon plus ambiguë ou subtile, pour sa légèreté, son coût modéré, sa valeur plastique, esthétique, voire idéologique. Une appréciation nuancée des caractéristiques et des modalités d'emploi du matériau, basée sur un vaste corpus d'œuvres architecturales, est seule en mesure de faire comprendre les raisons de son succès et de remettre en question un certain nombre de poncifs qui nuisent à la juste appréciation du rôle majeur joué par la brique dans l'histoire de l'architecture espagnole.

Anatolia was home to a large number of polities in the medieval period. Given its location at the geographical and chronological juncture between Byzantines and the Ottomans, its story tends to be read through the Seljuk experience. This obscures the multiple experiences and spaces of Anatolia under the Byzantine empire, Turko-Muslim dynasties contemporary to the Seljuks, the Mongol Ilkhanids, and the various beyliks of eastern and western Anatolia.

This book looks beyond political structures and towards a reconsideration of the interactions between the rural and the urban; an analysis of the relationships between architecture, culture and power; and an examination of the region's multiple geographies. In order to expand historiographical perspectives it draws on a wide variety of sources (architectural, artistic, documentary and literary), including texts composed in several languages (Arabic, Armenian, Byzantine Greek, Persian and Turkish). Original in its coverage of this period from the perspective of multiple polities, religions and languages, this volume is also the first to truly embrace the cultural complexity that was inherent in the reality of daily life in medieval Anatolia and surrounding regions.

Berkeley Castle Tales presents the outcomes of the 15-year-long University of Bristol excavations and landscape research at the Berkeley Castle estate in South Gloucestershire. The project, which in 2016 won the prestigious Current Archaeology award for the Archaeology Project of the Year, aimed at writing, through material culture and extensive archival and geophysical research, the narrative behind the construction of Berkeley Castle, the corresponding town, and the area of the Severn valley that overlooks the borders with Wales. By combining the results of archaeological fieldwork with information contained in the castle's impressive collection of 20,000 historical documents, the project adds greatly to our knowledge and understanding of the early medieval period and the subsequent changes in landscape and society that occurred with the coming of the Normans, with the erection of a castle on the former minster site. Throughout the publication the advances that the Berkeley Castle project offered to archaeological practice, to excavation and geophysics methodology, and to the community and public archaeology are evident, since the editors intend the volume to be a milestone not only for the study of a castle landscape but also for archaeological method and practice.
