Book Synopsis Sacred Meaning in the Christian Art of the Middle Ages by : Stephen N. Fliegel
Book excerpt: With absorbing prose and detailed images, Stephen Fliegel unlocks the secrets of these sacred objects and portrays medieval Christian believers as souls kindred to us-humans striving in their own time to discern and preserve religious meaning and decorum. Fliegel provides a rich understanding of the allegorical images that helped the church to communicate to the faithful through visual narrative and also provides a rich, textured understanding of sacred art and architecture.
