This book explores the issue of ecclesiastical authority in
Romanesque sculpture on the portals and other sculpted "gateways"
of churches in the north Italian region of Lombardy. Gillian B.
Elliott examines the liturgical connection between the ciborium
over the altar (the most sacred threshold inside the church), and
the sculpted portals that appeared on church exteriors in medieval
Lombardy. In cities such as Milan, Civate, Como, and Pavia, the
liturgy of Saint Ambrose was practiced as an alternative to the
Roman liturgy and the churches were constructed to respond to the
needs of Ambrosian liturgy. Not only do the Romanesque churches in
these places correspond stylistically and iconographically, but
they were also linked politically in an era of intense struggle for
ultimate regional authority. The book considers liturgical and
artistic links between interior church furnishings and exterior
church sculptural programs, and also applies new spatial
methodologies to the interior and exterior of churches in Lombardy.
The book will be of interest to scholars working in art history,
medieval studies, architectural history, and religious studies.
