Recenzii
'A deeply researched and penetrating scholarly work addressing an important aspect of medieval political ritual: the array of coronation rites that marked a ruler's ascension to the throne throughout the medieval West, with a particular focus on self-crowning. Broad in its range and conclusions, the manuscript engages the reader with its lively narrative, arguments, and conclusions.' Gabrielle M. Spiegel, Johns Hopkins University
'A magisterial book drawing on an impressive array of written sources and material artefacts. It offers an innovative and finely tuned analysis of a curious phenomenon - the self-coronation of kings, raising important questions about the relationship between religion and politics that has defined European history well into the twentieth century.' Björn Weiler, Aberystwyth University
'Thoroughly researched and engaging, this erudite book is a major contribution to our knowledge. Addressing a specific aspect of medieval political rituals - the act of self-coronation (not as uncommon as some historians have thought) and coronation rites - Aurell offers an original and much need analysis of these ceremonies over la longue durée. An important book to be read with care and pleasure.' Teofilo F. Ruiz, UCLA
'Overall, this wide-ranging, well-founded, and highly readable study by Jaume Aurell … offers a very valuable contribution to medieval ritual studies and rulership research in a comparative perspective.' Tanja Skambraks, Historische Zeitschrift
'Medieval Self-Coronations is an ambitious project due to the vastness of its geographic-temporal coordinates and its interdisciplinary nature, since it handles anthropological, historical, ritual and liturgical resources, as well as those coming from the history of art … undoubtedly a new key study for international medieval historiography.' Marta Serrano Coll, RESEÑAS
