- Double-weighted statement
- This book qualifies for double-weighting on account of its massive scale (c. 248,000 words; 600 pages; 121 images), its ten-year research period, and the complexity and originality of its arguments. It incorporates extensive primary research, drawn from sources in Naples and Rome, including the Archivio del Tesoro di San Gennaro, which is difficult to access. The product of sustained reflection, and informed by contemporary and early modern philosophy, the book explores architectural materiality from numerous perspectives (place, miracles, metals, relics, imperialism), and, in so doing, seeks to redraw the boundaries of architectural history.
