Climbing the walls as a method of conquest, set amongst history and legend. From Damascus to Alhama de Granada
Eva LAPIEDRA
Original title: La escalada a las murallas como método de conquista entre la historia y la leyenda. De Damasco a Alhama de Granada
Published in
Keywords: City of Brass, Conquest, Giraldo sem Pavor, Literary topos, Reconquest, Storming the walls, Transtextuality.
This article brings together and compares different historical literary texts belonging to the chronicle traditions of both Arabic and Islamic writers and to Latin and Christian chroniclers on the Iberian Peninsula. All of them narrate the surprise conquest of a city using the method of storming and climbing its walls. The continuance of that literary topos through time and space appears to indicate that it was carried from the Arab world to the Latin peninsular Romance across the border between the Almohad empire and the emerging Portuguese empire in the 13th Century. That’s why it appears in Portuguese and Castilian Chronicles, but not in those from Catalonia.

The Mudejar as an art style: a historiographical appraisal
José GÓMEZ GALÁN
Original title: El mudéjar como estilo artístico: una valoración historiográfica
Published in
Keywords: Artistic Style, Cultural History, Historiography, History of Art, Mudejar Art.
In this article, a detailed analysis of the historiography of Mudejar art is followed from the birth of the concept in the 19th Century until the present, in order to determine if it is possible to define Mudejar as an independent artistic style. The main points for and against this view are presented and analyzed using as a reference base the most important scientific works carried out in this respect, many of which offer varying interpretations regarding the subject. After the historiographical and epistemological critique, arguments are presented which defend Mudejar art as a singular artistic phenomenon while also giving recognition to the fusion of Christian and Islamic art elements which was the fruit of an intense transfer of cross-cultural knowledge. In this way, it is possible to speak of Mudejar as a cultural expression and an artistic style that emerged from a special geographical location at a unique historical time.

Alfonso V the Magnanimous, King of Aragon (1416-1458), due to his linking to the Neapolitan throne and his role in the European policy of the Quattrocento, built a speech of his image to represent himself to his contemporaries and to the posterity. His purpose was to prove his legitimacy as heir to Naples, to appear to his contemporaries as the new princeps sponsored by the Italian Humanism and to remain in memory like a virtuous Caesar. This speech was composed of numerous and varied pieces ranging from the field of numismatics to Sigillography passing through the tilework or epigraphy, to name a few, and among which stand out from those containing motes and symbols denoting some specific qualities of the sovereign. Therefore, the aim of this article is to analyze the use made by the king of this slogans and badges and to restore their chronological and symbolic place in the political and cultural program designed by the Magnanimous.
