Vidro Romano no Noroeste Peninsular

Acabou de ser disponibilizada online a seguinte tese de doutoramento:

Mário Rui Mendes Dias da Cruz, O Vidro Romano no Noroeste Peninsular. Um Olhar a Partir de Bracara Augusta, 3 volumes, Braga, Universidade do Minho, 2009.

Está disponível aqui.

Resumo / Abstract:

Vidros Romanos no Noroeste Peninsular. Um olhar a partir de Bracara Augusta começou pelo estudo da importante colecção de vidros de Braga e estendeu-se às pequenas e grandes colecções, guardadas em museus, gabinetes municipais de arqueologia e outras instituições, publicas e privadas, no que outrora fora a província romana da Callaecia. Esta tese procurou ir para além dos tradicionais estudos de vidros, baseados em descrições e classificações tipológicas, procurando estudar todas as facetas do vidro antigo, desde os estudos de arqueometria à produção local. Este novo olhar trouxe ao de cima uma nova realidade e procurou ultrapassar velhas noções baseadas em conhecimentos da indústria vidreira Medieval e Moderna. Um novo conceito, relativo à importância do vidro no quotidiano das populações e na economia do noroeste peninsular, emergiu.

Roman glass from the Iberian Peninsula’s northwest. An approach from Bracara Augusta begins with the analysis of the important glass collection from Bracara Augusta, the modern town of Braga, and continues with the study of other collections kept in museums and archaeological institutes in what was the Roman province of Callaecia. This thesis goes beyond the traditional study of glass vessels based on descriptions and classifications, to the study of all possible aspects of ancient glass, from archaeometry to local glass production. This new approach revealed a new insight into the production and use of ancient glass, distinct from what is known about Medieval and Modern glass production. As a result, an entirely new concept of the importance of glass in Romans' daily lives and the local economy of the Iberian Peninsula’s northwest has arisen.

Conservação de retábulos de madeira policromada

Em 2002, o Instituto Andaluz del Patrimonio Histórico de Andalucía e o Gettty Conservation Institute desenvolveram um projecto sobre conservação de retábulos de madeira policromada que originou diversas publicações.

Em tempos, já aqui divulguei o livro que recolhe os textos resultantes das comunicações apresentadas num encontro. Está livremente disponível online, em inglês (aqui) e em castelhano (aqui).

No entanto, há outra documentação igualmente disponível com acesso livre – para a qual M.ª José González López há pouco me chamou a atenção.

Assim, a apresentação do projecto está disponível aqui (em inglês, castelhano e francês) e o corpus bibliográfico aqui (com apresentação em inglês e castelhano). O CD-ROM que contém a terminologia básica ilustrada, com navegação em inglês e castelhano, está acessível aqui. A terminologia apresentada no CD-ROM, com umas excelentes ilustrações, tem também tradução em português, francês e italiano.
