Retracing the contours of a bitter controversy over the meaning
of sacred architecture that flared up among some of the leading
lights of the Carolingian renaissance, Samuel Collins explores how
ninth-century authors articulated the relationship of form to
function and ideal to reality in the ecclesiastical architecture of
the Carolingian empire. This debate involved many of the major
figures of the era, and at its core questioned what it meant for
any given place or building to be thought of as specially holy.
Many of the signature moments of the Carolingian Renaissance, in
church reform, law, and political theory, depended on rival and
bitterly controversial definitions of sacred architecture in the
material world.
