Volume Editor:
With Medieval Treasures of Toledo Cathedral: Artworks, Relics, Texts, and Textiles, the Treasury Project continues exploring how treasuries accommodated the evolving interests of their holders across the Middle Ages. Following up on The Medieval Iberian Treasury in the Context of Cultural Interchange, Expanded Edition (Brill, 2020), this volume focuses on a selection of the precious objects and multiple inventories of Toledo Cathedral (12th-16th centuries). Methodologies from art history, material culture, history, and archaeology are drawn upon, analyzing inventories together with textiles, metalworks, enamels, rock crystals, ivories, and illuminated manuscripts. Artifacts act as evidence alongside archival sources, while technical analyses make crucial contributions to the story that long-lived objects can tell us about their origins, functions, changing meanings, and reuse in medieval Iberia.

Therese Martin, (Ph.D. 2000, University of Pittsburgh), is Senior Researcher and Head of the Department of Medieval Studies at the Instituto de Historia, CSIC, Madrid. Her recent research investigates the intersections of medieval Iberiaâs multiple cultures; women as vectors of cross-cultural exchange; and the geographic resonances of treasured objects.
