About
Die Kathedrale von Santiago de Compostela, als Ziel und Höhepunkt der Pilgerwege zum Jakobsgrab, darf heute mehr denn je Aufmerksamkeit beanspruchen, nicht nur als Ziel des Jakobsweges, sondern vor allem als architektonische und kulturgeschichtliche Quelle. Das mehrjährige Forschungsprojekt von Bernd Nicolai, Universität Bern und Klaus Rheidt, Universität Cottbus, Die Kathedrale von Santiago de Compostela - Gestalt, Funktion und Programm, das den Bau und seinen architektur- und kunstgeschichtlichen Kontext von Grund auf neu untersucht, legt hier eine Zwischenbilanz vor. Der Band präsentiert erstmalig Ergebnisse zu Bauverlauf und Ausstattung auf der Basis einer neuen Bauforschung, Baugeschichte und Quellenanalyse und konfrontiert sie mit aktuellen internationalen Forschungen in Spanien, den USA, der Schweiz, Deutschland, England und Frankreich zum Themenbereich der Pilgerstrassenarchitektur und -skulptur.

    As an "interim report" of a multi-year research project, what did you find most intriguing or challenging about engaging with scholarly work in progress? How does this format affect your reading experience compared to a definitive historical account?

  3. 3

    What prior images or ideas did you hold about the Cathedral of Santiago de Compostela, and in what specific ways did the book's detailed architectural and historical analysis deepen, alter, or perhaps even challenge those initial impressions?
