Inside Christian churches, natural light has long been harnessed to
underscore theological, symbolic, and ideological statements. In
this volume, twenty-four international scholars with various
specialties explore how the study of sunlight can reveal essential
aspects of the design, decoration, and function of medieval sacred
spaces. Themes covered include the interaction between patrons,
advisors, architects, and artists, as well as local negotiations
among competing traditions that yielded new visual and spatial
constructs for which natural light served as a defining and
unifying factor. The study of natural light in medieval churches
reveals cultural relations, knowledge transfer patterns, processes
of translation and adaptation, as well as experiential aspects of
sacred spaces in the Middle Ages. Contributors are: Anna
