Paradoxplace Pages about the Medieval Christian Church Architecture, Art and History
|
|||||||||||
|
The Christian Church weaves its way through many of the Paradoxplace pages on Medieval Europe because it is the largest, most pervasive and longest lasting institution in Western Europe. The Christian Church's architectural structures - Cathedrals, Churches, Abbeys, Monasteries etc and their associated histories and archives account for the bulk of what remains of the great (and lesser) buildings of the early Middle Ages, and are an important component of the extant history of later times. The narrative art of the Christian Church displayed in stained glass windows, portal sculptures (including tympanums, reliefs and trumeaux), capitals, roof bosses, misericords, mosaics, paintings and illuminated manuscripts is likewise a key window onto the beliefs and life of the middle ages, as well as often being beautiful in its own right.
This page provides links to Christian Church related pages or directories within Paradoxplace, a few of which are maybe just a bit obscurely placed.
