Taylor & Francis Art and the Relic Cult of St. Antoninus in
Book SynopsisTracing the history of St. Antoninus' cult and burial from the time of his death in 1459 until his remains were moved to their final resting place in 1589, this interdisciplinary study demonstrates that the saint's relic cult was a key element of Florence's sacred cityscape. The works of art created in his honor, as well as the rituals practiced at his fifteenth- and sixteenth-century places of burial, advertised Antoninus' saintly power and persona to the people who depended upon his intercessory abilities to negotiate life's challenges. Drawing on a rich variety of contemporary visual, literary, and archival sources, this volume explores the ways in which shifting political, familial, and ecclesiastical aims and agendas shaped the ways in which St. Antoninus' holiness was broadcast to those who visited his burial church. Author Sally Cornelison foregrounds the visual splendor of the St. Antoninus Chapel, which was designed, built, and decorated by Medici court artist Giambologna anTrade Review'In this finely produced, eloquent, and meticulously researched volume Sally J. Cornelison draws together a wealth of archival and rare materials to trace the development of Antoninus’s relic cult from his death to the completion of the St. Antoninus chapel in San Marco in 1591, designed by Giambologna and financed by the Salviati family, clients of the Medici.' Catholic Historical Review 'Overall, this is an admirably detailed and clearly-written account of a Florentine cult and monument that have long deserved monographic treatment; it will be a standard art-historical reference for anyone wanting to understand the saint's history and that of his legacy.' Meredith J. Gill, Associate Professor, Italian Renaissance, Art Department of Art History and Archaeology, University of Maryland, College Park 'Cornelison’s study admirably achieves its proposed objective of placing the commission of the Salviati chapel in the larger context of Renaissance devotion to Antoninus. In doing so, Art and the Relic Cult of St. Antoninus in Renaissance Florence brings new light to a deeply underestimated artistic complex and its interlaced figurative program.' Caa.Reviews 'One of the goals of the book was to rehabilitate the significance of St. Antoninus’ cult. In this it succeeds. Moreover, it gives us the most comprehensive and substantial description of the sixteenth century chapel until now. Even though Cornelison approaches the subject from the perspective of the Antoninus’ cult, she delivers a balanced story, considering all aspects, from the saint’s life and cult, to the patrons and the artists.' Journal für Kunstgeschichte 'The successful integration of the artistic, religious, and political components of the Antoninus cult and its display make this a most illuminating and satisfying work-it is recommended reading.' Sixteenth Century Journal '...excellent volume... The author achieves her objective through the perspicacious reading and interpretation of a wide variety of visual and textual sources, presented in the numerous illustrations and listed in the ample bibliography.' Burlington Magazine '... stunning book... a fine addition to Ashgate's Visual Culture in Early Modernity Series, and it will be an equally fine addition to the bookshelf of any serious art lover or anyone interested in exploring the power of myth and memory.'

Taylor & Francis Islam and Tibet Interactions along the Musk
Book SynopsisThe first encounters between the Islamic world and Tibet took place in the course of the expansion of the Abbasid Empire in the eighth century. Military and political contacts went along with an increasing interest in the other side. Cultural exchanges and the transmission of knowledge were facilitated by a trading network, with musk constituting one of the main trading goods from the Himalayas, largely through India. From the thirteenth century onwards the spread of the Mongol Empire from the Western borders of Europe through Central Asia to China facilitated further exchanges. The significance of these interactions has been long ignored in scholarship. This volume represents a major contribution to the subject, bringing together new studies by an interdisciplinary group of international scholars. They explore for the first time the multi-layered contacts between the Islamic world, Central Asia and the Himalayas from the eighth century until the present day in a variety of fields, iTrade Review'... the diversity of scholarly approaches - anthropological, historical, philological and archaeological, together with the variety of the cultural interactions surveyed - combine to give a good overall perspective regarding the central pertinent fields of study. The reader thus receives a well-rounded view of the relations between Islam and Tibet... This intriguing collection of articles covers rich and fresh materials for the study of a relatively neglected aspect of world history, and is thus a valuable contribution to the study of Islam and its place in Asia.'

Taylor & Francis Ltd Islam Beyond Conflict Indonesian Islam and
Book SynopsisPolitically, Islam in Indonesia is part of a rich multi-cultural mix. Religious tolerance is seen as the cornerstone of relations between different faiths - and moderation is built into the country''s constitutional framework. However, the advent of democracy coupled with the impact of the South-East Asian economic collapse in 1997, and the arrival of a tough new breed of Middle Eastern Islamic preachers, sowed the seeds of the current challenge to Indonesia''s traditionally moderate form of Islam. This volume explores the extent to which moderate Indonesian Islam is able to assimilate leading concepts from Western political theory. The essays in the collection explore how concepts from Western political theory are compatible with a liberal interpretation of Islamic universals and how such universals can form the basis for a contemporary approach to the protection of human rights and the articulation of a modern Islamic civil society.Trade Review'Asking whether Islam and democracy are compatible requires us to explore our understandings of both. This important book brings together thinkers from two very relevant countries - Indonesia and Australia - to pursue the theoretical and real-world complexities that lurk here. It should be read by commentators, policy makers, activists and scholars. M. C. Ricklefs, National University of Singapore, Singapore 'This volume draws together well-informed critical reflections from both Western and Indonesian Islamic perspectives on citizenship, democratization, pluralism, civil society, and the rule of law. The conversations that emerge from this highlight internal tensions and complexities of both traditions in ways that illuminate important aspects of their contemporary interactions.'
