Description

Explore the history of religious architecture with Thresholds of the Sacred. This scholarly volume examines how screens of different shapes, sizes, and materials have been used to separate sacred spaces and organize communities within religious buildings throughout history. Drawing from a Dumbarton Oaks Byzantine Studies symposium, this collection looks at the evolution of thresholds from the first-century Jewish temple to the Orthodox iconostasis and the Renaissance Italian tramezzi. By examining these structures through architectural, art historical, liturgical, and theological lenses, the book provides a deep look at how physical barriers define spiritual environments. Focusing on the Middle Ages and the Renaissance in both the East and the West, the contributors offer diverse perspectives on religious screens. The research includes discussions on screens in Egypt and other regions, making it a valuable resource for students and scholars of Byzantine studies and religious history.
