Summary From the time of Dante through the 17th century and beyond, Florence had a special relationship with the Biblical Jerusalem?with the idea, that is, of a city chosen by God to be a sign of human peace. This collection of essays traces the development of this 'Idea of Jerusalem' from the Divine Comedy and medieval Holy Land pilgrimages through the 1439 Council of Florence, Savonarola's end of the 15th-century preaching, and the astonishing project of Grand Duke Ferdinand I to transfer the Holy Sepulcher from Jerusalem to Florence. The volume also recalls the city's 19th- and 20th-century Jerusalem image. TABLE OF CONTENTS Timothy Verdon, Foreword Timothy Verdon, Introduction: Earthly City and 'Coelestis urbs'.

Fra Angelico. Painter, Friar, Mystic
, Brepols, 2021 Hardback, 384 pages, Size:280 x 330 mm, Illustrations:247 col., Language(s):English, Italian, French. ISBN 9782503580333.
Summary Fra Angelico offers a unique encounter with the celebrated painter, seen through the eyes of Monsignor Timothy Verdon. As an art historian and (like Angelico) a Catholic priest, Monsignor Verdon approaches the work of the only artist ever beatified through the theological lens it deserves, bringing together Fra Angelico's art and his faith. Praised by his contemporaries, by later art historians, and by generations of viewers, Fra Angelico's art is known for its exceptional combination of piety and painterly skill. In this book, Monsignor Verdon explores the spiritual and mystical foundations of the friar-painter's work, and traces his artistic evolution from his early work, to the frescoes for the covent of San Marco in Florence, his Annunciations, and the chapel for Pope Niccolò V. Lavishly illustrated with over 200 high-quality images, Beato Angelico illuminates Fra Angelico's art and his faith.
