This book introduces the reader to the definition, form, and use of medieval symbols, and the significance that they held and still hold for some people, exploring the context in which church symbolism developed, and examining the major influences that shaped it. Among the topics discussed are allegory, typology, moral interpretation, and anagogy. Further chapters also consider the work of key figures, including Hugh and Richard of St Victor and Abbot Suger at St-Denis. Finally, the book contrasts the Eastern world with the Western world, taking a look at the late Middle Ages and what happened to church symbolism once Aristotle had ousted Plato from the schools. 504 $a Includes bibliographical references and index. 505 0 $a Visual Allegories and Verbal Symbols -- Recent Symbolism -- Symbol and Meaning -- Allegory -- Typology -- The Moral Interpretation -- Anagogy -- Hugh and Richard of St Victor -- Simplified Symbols -- Buildings as Symbols -- Numbers as Symbols -- Suger and Saint-Denis -- The East -- The Triumph of Literalism -- Images -- In Conclusion. 650 0 $a Church architecture $z Europe. 650 0 $a Symbolism in architecture $z Europe. 650 0 $a Christian art and symbolism $z Europe $y Medieval, 500-1500. 650 0 $a Architecture, Medieval. 776 08 $i Online version: $a Spurrell, Mark. $t Medieval church symbolism. $d New York : Routledge, 2019. $z 9780429399091 $w (DLC) 2019032561 941 $a 1 952 $l USUX851 $d 20200603014417.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=53E530248E9811EAB83BD64B97128E48 994 $a C0 $b IWAInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
