Who Really Built Europe'S Finest Romanesque Monuments? Clergymen Presiding Over Holy Sites Are Credited Throughout History, While Highly Skilled Creators Remain Anonymous. But The Buildings Speak For Themselves.This Groundbreaking Book Explores The Evidence Embedded In Medieval Monasteries, Churches And Castles, From Mont Saintmichel And The Leaning Tower Of Pisa To Durham Cathedral And The Basilica Of Santiago De Compostela. Tracing The Origins Of Key Design Innovations From This Pregothic Periodacknowledged As The Essential Foundation Of All Future European Construction Stylesdiana Darke Sheds Startling New Light On The Masons, Carpenters And Sculptors Behind These Masterpieces.At A Time When Christendom Lacked Such Expertise, Muslim Craftsmen Had Advanced Understanding Of Geometry And Complex Ornamentation. They Dominated Highend Construction In Islamic Spain, Sicily And North Africa, Spreading Knowledge And Techniques Across Western Europe. Challenging Eurocentric Assumptions, Darke Uncovers The Profound Influence Of The Islamic World In Christian Europe, And Argues That Romanesque Architecture, A Nineteenthcentury Art Historians Fiction, Should Be Recognized For What It Truly Is: Islamesque.
