A1 Marcos-Cobaleda, María
AB The aim of this article is to present the main aspects of the methodology employed in myresearch concerning artistic transfers in the late medieval Mediterranean from Islamic to Christianart, with a special focus on the Iberian Peninsula. The starting point of the research was the selectionof certain artistic elements incorporated into western Islamic art during the Almoravid period (inparticular, the muqarnas and the pointed-horseshoe arches), to analyse their spread in western Islamicart and beyond. A Geographic Information System (GIS) was applied to create two databases andassess the distribution of these elements in the Mediterranean framework between the 12th and15th centuries. As a result, different analyses and cartographic material developed with the GISare thus included in this work. The GIS made it possible to analyse not only geographic aspects ofthe distribution of these elements but also other complex phenomena related to the muqarnas.and the pointed-horseshoe arches in a quantitative way, which allowed me to raise some preliminaryhypotheses concerning the use and distribution of both elements in the Mediterranean framework.
