Description: This monograph brings together for the first time in one place the comprehensive contemporary literaƯture on the cathedral, interpreting this exceptional monuƯment and the entire historical and cultural complex in its regional, Adriatic, and I would say even MediƯterranean context ? and not just during the emergence of the Baroque building that we see today, but also the earlier phases, which are attested to primarily by the archaeological findings. However, the book is not just a synthesis of contemporary texts and concepts. It brings to light an astonishing number of new, rigorously scientific, analytical insights on numerous problems that were previously only mentioned in passing. In a series of balanced chapters, the authors succeed in creating for the first time a complete and precise reconstruction of the chronology of the construction and furnishing of the Dubrovnik cathedral, with a convincing reconƯstruction of the individual building phases and an equally convincing interpretation of the genesis of the stylistic features of each of them.
