Examining the history of altar decorations, this study of the
visual liturgy grapples with many of the previous theoretical
frameworks to reveal the evolution and function of these ritual
objects. Using an interdisciplinary approach, this book uses
traditional art historical methodologies and media technology
theory to reexamine ritual objects. Previous analysis has not
considered the in-between nature of these objects as deliberate and
virtual conduits to the divine. The liturgy, the altarpiece, the
altar environment, relics, and their reliquaries are media. In a
series of case studies, several objects tell a different story
about culture and society in medieval Europe. In essence, they
reveal that media and media technologies generate and modulate the
individual and collective structure of feeling of sacredness among
assemblages of humans and nonhumans. The book will be of interest
to scholars working in art history, medieval studies, early modern
studies, and architectural history.
