In the absence of the bodies of Christ and Mary, architecture took
on a special representational role during the Christian Middle
Ages, marking out sites associated with the bodily presence of the
dominant figures of the religion. Throughout this period, buildings
were reinterpreted in relation to the mediating role of textual and
pictorial representations that shaped the pilgrimage experience
across expansive geographies. In this study, Kathryn Blair Moore
challenges fundamental ideas within architectural history regarding
the origins and significance of European recreations of buildings
in Jerusalem, Bethlehem, and Nazareth. From these conceptual
foundations, she traces and re-interprets the significance of the
architecture of the Holy Land within changing religious and
political contexts, from the First Crusade and the emergence of the
Franciscan Custody of the Holy Land to the anti-Islamic crusade
movements of the Renaissance, as well as the Reformation.
