Overview
The sixteen essays in this volume were written to honor John Williams's contributions to the study of medieval Spanish art and architecture. Contributors from the fields of Art History, History, and Archaeology were chosen to demonstrate Williams's wide-ranging influence as scholar and teacher. Thus, the collection represents current research by scholars from five countries, providing an interdisciplinary, international, and even intergenerational view of the work being done in Spanish medieval History and Art History today. With contributions by Achim Arbeiter, Simon Barton, Ann Boylan, James D'Emilio, Angela Franco, Julie A. Harris, Peter K. Klein, Therese Martin, Eileen P. McKiernan González, Pamela Patton, David Raizman, Bernard F. Reilly, Diane Reilly, Rocío Sánchez Ameijeiras, José Luis Senra, and Kenneth B. Wolf.

Reviews
...The articles they have collected beautifully reflect the methodological foci made familiar in Williams' writings... Not only do the articles reflect current interests in medieval Iberian art and architecture, but they also contain an admirable apparatus of references guiding the reader to research less known in the English speaking world, especially studies done in Spain. This makes the book an important tool to guide any student towards this rich field of scholarship... The editors are to be congratulated on a beautiful tribute to an outstanding historian of medieval art. They were able to put together a wide-ranging collection of thoroughly researched studies in a field that has often been lamented as underrepresented. The resulting book is obligatory for specialists of the culture, history and art of medieval Spain, and is also one that anybody interested in medieval art will appreciate and wish to acquire...
