Download or read book The Art and Science of the Church Screen in Medieval Europe written by Spike Bucklow and published by Boydell & Brewer. This book was released on 2017 with total page 362 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Fresh examinations of one of the most important church furnishings of the middle ages. The churches of medieval Europe contained richly carved and painted screens, placed between the altar and the congregation; they survive in particularly high numbers in England, despite being partly dismantled during the Reformation. While these screens divided "lay" from "priestly" jurisdiction, it has also been argued that they served to unify architectural space. This volume brings together the latest scholarship on the subject, exploring in detail numerous aspects of the construction and painting of screens, it aims in particular to unite perspectives from science and art history. Examples are drawn from a wide geographical range, from Scandinavia to Italy. Spike Bucklow is Director of Research at the Hamilton Kerr Institute, University of Cambridge; Richard Marks is Emeritus Professor of the History of Art at the University of York and currently a member of the History of Art Department, University of Cambridge; Lucy Wrapson is Assistant to the Director at the Hamilton Kerr Institute, University of Cambridge.

Download or read book Medieval Christianity written by Kevin Madigan and published by Yale University Press. This book was released on 2015-01-13 with total page 512 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An “engaging narrative history” of the medieval church, with new attention to women, ordinary parishioners, attitudes toward Jews and Muslims, and more (Publishers Weekly, starred review). For many, the medieval world seems dark and foreign—an often brutal and seemingly irrational time of superstition, miracles, and strange relics. The aggressive pursuit of heretics and attempts to control the “Holy Land” might come to mind. Yet the medieval world produced much that is part of our world today, including universities, the passion for Roman architecture and the development of the gothic style, pilgrimage, the emergence of capitalism, and female saints. This new narrative history of medieval Christianity, spanning the period 500 to 1500 CE, attempts to integrate the familiar with new themes and narratives. Elements of novelty in the book include a steady focus on the role of women in Christianity; the relationships among Christians, Jews, and Muslims; the experience of ordinary parishioners; the adventure of asceticism, devotion, and worship; and instruction through drama, architecture, and art. Kevin Madigan expertly integrates these areas of focus with more traditional themes, such as the evolution and decline of papal power; the nature and repression of heresy; sanctity and pilgrimage; the conciliar movement; and the break between the old Western church and its reformers. Illustrated with more than forty photographs of physical remains, this book promises to become an essential guide to a historical era of profound influence. “Compelling . . . a picture of medieval Christianity that is no less lively for being well-informed and carefully balanced.” —Commonweal

Download or read book A Sketch of Church History written by H. Morley Rattenbury and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2017-06-29 with total page 111 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A history of the Church has to cover nearly 2,000 years, the whole of the inhabited world, and the story of a community which now numbers some 850 million people. Because there is so much of it, it is quite impossible for any single book to deal with it all. For the same reason, the ordinary Christian finds it difficult to picture it as a whole. This book gives a sketch of the whole story, so that the reader can see the relationship of the various parts and avoid the distortions which come from concentrating on one place and neglecting another. The story of the Church is a fascinating one, and this sketch preserves all its interest while reducing it to manageable proportions. It is inevitable that the story is told from a particular point of view and that another writer would tell it differently. But though the selection of facts is limited by the personal viewpoint of the author as well as by the length of the book, the story is told with fairness and impartiality.
