Archaeopress St Albans Abbey The Excavation of the Chapter
Book SynopsisSt Albans Abbey is one of the greatest of medieval England. The origins of the medieval abbey lie much further in the past, in the time of Roman Verulamium, and the early history of the abbey is that of the martyrdom of Alban, whose burial is associated with the area of the abbey itself. The creation of memorial churches over the graves of saints outside the walls of Roman cities is commonplace in the world of late antiquity. One has only to think of St Peter's or St Paul's without the Walls in Rome, but in Britain no single case is yet known, other than St Albans.This book is about the excavation in 1978 of the site of the medieval chapter house of St Albans Abbey, a building second in importance only to the abbey church itself. The excavation took place in response to the impending construction of a new chapter house, on the exact site of its medieval predecessor, demolished following the suppression of the abbey in the sixteenth century.Enigmatic finds

Pindar Press Romanesque Art, Vol. II: Problems and Monuments
Book SynopsisThese two volumes brings together Professor Sauerländer's papers on Romanesque art, and complement his two previously published volumes in this series on Gothic art. The studies are again grouped around a number of common themes: structures, problems of classification, the geography of Romanesque art, and its development in Italy and the Empire. Early studies have been updated with references to the more recent literature, and there is a comprehensive index.Table of ContentsIn Praise of Italy - Peculiarities and Characteristics of Italian Romanesque Sculpture.

Pindar Press Studies in English Pre-Romanesque and Romanesque
Book SynopsisTrained as both an archaeologist and an art historian, Richard Gem established his specialist interest in pre-Romanesque and Romanesque architecture with his doctoral research at Cambridge University. Since then he has researched, published and lectured widely in this subject, while holding posts in different fields of cultural resource management. Dr Gem's earlier work aimed to establish an understanding of English architecture in the 11th century that would break away from the view that cultural development in this period could be simply explained in terms of whether buildings were constructed before or after the Norman Conquest. He has taken a wide view of how cultural processes in England need to be seen in the context of broader European trends, in order to understand both English architecture's indebtedness to the Continent, and also what gives it its specific national character. His earlier papers applied this approach to the development of the Romanesque style of architecture in England through the course of the 11th century while more recently he has applied a similar approach to earlier centuries, including the Carolingian period. Taking a broad view of cultural trends as his starting point, he has always anchored his work on a detailed archaeological, historical and stylistic analysis of individual buildings before drawing conclusions. This publication includes Dr Gem's main work over a period of quarter of a century. Taken together, these studies present an overview of the development of English Church architecture from the 7th century to the 12th.Table of ContentsIntroduction Archaeology and Architecture of English Christianity: What do Churches Mean?

JCB Mohr (Paul Siebeck) Der Kirchenraum als Topos der Dogmatik
Book SynopsisWas sucht der Mensch im Kirchenraum? Katrin Schindehütte folgt der Faszination an Kirchenräumen und nimmt eine dogmatische Standortbestimmung vor. Sie unternimmt den Versuch, die Frage nach der Bedeutung des Kirchenraumes, ausgehend von der aktuellen Raumdebatte, für das protestantisch-theologische Verständnis des Kirchenraums fruchtbar zu machen. Dafür wird nach der Struktur von Raum insgesamt gefragt und die seit der Antike konkurrierenden Vorstellungen eines "absoluten Raumes" neueren "relativen Raumkonzeptionen" gegenübergestellt. Dabei geht es auch um die Wiederentdeckung des Kirchenraumes. Wo sonst sollte religiöser Erkenntnisvollzug sich besser einüben lassen als an einem Ort, an dem die religiöse Dimension des Raumes in besonderer Weise selbst zum Thema wird?
