Abstract

Open Access: The Archivolted Portals of Northern Spain and Western France within the Theology and Politics of Entry explores the history, development, and accrued connotations of a distinctive entry configuration comprised of a set of concentrically stepped archivolts surrounding a deliberate tympanum-free portal opening. These "archivolted" portals adorned many of the small, rural ecclesiastical structures dotting the countryside of western France and northern Spain in the twelfth century. ...

Abstract

Borrowing from a range of theories on spacemaking and material religion, and with contributions from anthropologists working in the United Kingdom, Mali, Brazil, Spain, and Italy, this fascinating and comprehensive study develops an anthropological perspective on modern religious architecture including mosques, churches, and synagogues. 'Religious Architecture' examines how religious buildings take their place in opposition to their secular surroundings and, in so doing, function not only as community centers in urban daily life, but also as evocations of the sublime that help believers to move beyond the boundaries of modern subjectivity.

Abstract

Percevoir ce qu’était l’espace sacré au Moyen Âge est à la fois simple et complexe, car si la société médiévale est profondément christianisée, il n’en demeure pas moins que déterminer l’espace sacré dans sa dimension spatiale n’est guère aisé. Le lieu sacré est lié à la pratique du culte qui se traduit par des rites et des choix liturgiques. La dimension ecclésiale et collective implique un partage physique et spirituel de cet espace entre d’une part les fidèles, les clercs et les moines et d’autre part les vivants et les morts. Cette partition génère une organisation spatiale perceptible à travers les études architecturales, les aménagements liturgiques et les circulations, mais aussi grâce à la diversité ou la permanence des programmes iconographiques. Le terme d’espace ecclésial ne se rapportant pas uniquement à l’église, il a été jugé nécessaire de s’intéresser également aux lieux qui lui sont associés, comme le cloître et le cimetière. C’est ainsi qu’à travers un grand nombre d’exemples puisés dans les régions Rhône-Alpes et Auvergne, des archéologues, historiens de l’art et liturgistes, issus des diverses institutions de recherche françaises et réunis en « Action collective de recherche », offrent ici une approche croisée de l’espace sacré depuis l’Antiquité tardive jusqu’au xve siècle. L’ouvrage s’appuie sur des études régionales dont plusieurs sont inédites.

Abstract

The designs of synagogues and churches are acknowledged to be very alike. But the designers' procedure was confidential, and so far standard explanations have been unsatisfactory. A synagogue should express heavenly values with earthly materials. This combination was in fact expressed in numbers, for, as Plato said, they linked heaven and earth. Scripture described both the Jewish Tabernacle and Temple with a wealth of numbers. Proportions based on these numbers were used to design synagogues. Only a few Jewish documents survive, but they reveal a symbolism, which Christians sometimes repe
