Treasuries offer an opportunity for reading evidence over time, weighing the sometimes contradictory conclusions from textual or visual sources against technical analysis. This project delves into the medieval objects once gathered in ecclesiastical treasuries in order to highlight long-distance and transcultural networks, shining a light on issues of broad relevance for scholarship and society today. We investigate multiple collections in the Iberian Peninsula and beyond, carrying out comparative research on medieval metalworks, ivories, hardstones, and textiles, along with their representations in miniatures and murals.
