Fresh examinations of one of the most important church furnishings
of the middle ages. The churches of medieval Europe contained
richly carved and painted screens, placed between the altar and the
congregation; they survive in particularly high numbers in England,
despite being partly dismantled during the Reformation. While these
screens divided "lay" from "priestly" jurisdiction, it has also
been argued that they served to unify architectural space. This
volume brings together the latest scholarship on the subject ,
exploring in detail numerous aspects of the construction and
painting of screens, it aims in particular to unite perspectives
from science and art history. Examples are drawn from a wide
geographical range, from Scandinavia to Italy.
