This book explores the ways in which medieval Christians sought to
memorialize the deceased: with tombs, cenotaphs, altars and other
furnishings connected to a real or symbolic burial site. Reverent
memorial for the dead was the inspiration for the production of a
significant category of artworks during the Middle Ages - artworks
aimed as much at the laity as at the clergy, and intended to
maintain, symbolically, the presence of the dead. Memoria, the term
that describes the formal, liturgical memory of the dead, also
includes artworks intended to house and honour the deceased. A
dozen essays analyze strategies for commemoration from the 4th -
15th century: the means by which human memory could be activated or
manipulated through the interaction between monuments, their
setting, and the visitor. Building upon from the growing body of
literature on memory in the Middle Ages, the collection focuses on
the tomb monument and its context as a complex to define what is to
be remembered, to fix memory, and to facilitate recollection. The
papers were originally presented at the 1994 meetings of the
College Art Association, the International Congresses of Medieval
Studies at Western Michigan University, Kalamazoo, and the
University of Leeds, England, in 1995.
