Legal Visuality. Exegesis, Ambiguity, and Dissimulation of the Donation of Constantine in the Early Modern Period
, Harvey Miller, 2026 Hardback, Pages: viii + 422, Size:225 x 300 mm, Illustrations:9 b/w, 211 col., Language: English. ISBN 9781915487643.
Summary This study is the first to explore the reasons for the intriguing proliferation of the visual theme of the Donation of Constantine in the early modern period and the implications of the theme for the global politics of the papacy. The (in)famous Donation, a document forged in the eighth century, stipulated the endowment of the papacy with the entire "West" by the first Christian emperor Constantine the Great (306-37). Instead of looking at related visual material as application of the vivid politico-religious argumentation over the matter, the book demonstrates the significant and original contribution of images to this early modern debate on the Donation of Constantine (and its corollaries). Moreover, it interrogates both the presence and the absence of this controversial episode from Constantinian imagery. Departing from iconographic methodology, the study proposes political art and, what the author calls, legal visuality as the overarching concepts. The book deals with issues of intermediality, bridging over two centuries and over conventional geographical divides, situating Italian art in a larger European context especially through diplomatic art. It analyzes familiar artworks from new perspectives (like pieces by Raphael and Bernini in the Vatican or Rubens' tapestry designs) as well as many little-studied but equally revelatory images (like prints, medals, and cabinets).

Medicine at Monte Cassino. Constantine the African and the Oldest Manuscript of his Pantegni
, Brepols, 2019 Hardback, xxxvi + 255 pages, Size:156 x 234 mm, Illustrations:46 b/w, 16 col., 6 tables b/w., Language: English. ISBN 9782503579214.
Summary Fleeing his North-African homeland for Italy, Constantine the African arrived in Salerno and then joined the abbey of Monte Cassino south of Rome in c. 1077. He dedicated his life to the translation of more than two dozen medical texts from Arabic into Latin. These great efforts produced the first substantial written body of medical theory and practice in medieval Europe. His most important contribution, an encyclopedia he called the Pantegni (The Complete Art), was translated and adapted from the Complete Book of the Medical Art by the Persian physician 'Ali ibn al-'Abb?s al-Ma??s? (d. 982). This monograph focuses on the oldest manuscript of the Pantegni,Theorica, which represents a work-in-progress with numerous unusual features. This study, for the first time, identifies Monte Cassino as the origin of this oldest Pantegni manuscript, and asserts that it was made during Constantine's lifetime. It further demonstrates how a skilled team of scribes and scholars assisted the translator in the complex process of producing this Latin version of the Arabic text. Several members of this production team are identified, both in the Pantegni manuscript and in other copies of Cassinese manuscripts. The book breaks new ground by identifying a range of manuscripts produced at Monte Cassino under Constantine's direct supervision, as evidenced by their material features, script, and contents. In rare detail, this study explores some of the challenges met by 'Team Constantine' as they sought to reveal new knowledge to the West, which in turn revolutionized medical understanding throughout medieval Europe. This is really a quite remarkable study, utterly transformative of our understanding of one of the turning points in the history of Western civilization, the moment when Greco-Arabic medicine was introduced into the Latin European world.
