The Framing of Sacred Space: The Canopy and the Byzantine Church
Autor Jelena Bogdanovicen Limba Engleză Hardback – 24 aug 2017
As architectonic objects of basic structural and design integrity, canopies provide means for an innovative understanding of the materialization of the idea of the Byzantine-rite church. The Framing of Sacred Space considers both the material and conceptual framing of sacred space and explains how the canopy bridges the physical and transcendental realms.

Recenzii
For the first time a thorough investigation examines the symbolism, cultural and religious value, and fortune of the canopy as a basic element of church architecture in Byzantium and related cultures (300-1500)...This book, which receives an elegant treatment from Oxford University Press, is furnished with rare illustrations and a number of charts and drawings that clarify the author's points and provide the nonexpert reader with precious help. Indeed, this is an invaluable scholarly contribution that helps us to understand the complexity of thoughts and beliefs behind what may appear to be a small architectural element, the canopy.
The book is beautifully produced with many good-quality color photographs and fine drawings. It also collects and discusses an immense amount of material ranging from Syria to Italy, and from the third century to the post-Byzantine period. ... this book will likely become a useful reference for the archaeological material it assembles.
The Framing of Sacred Space is a major contribution to the field of Byzantine studies. Having devoted over a decade to studying churches of the Byzantine rite and earning both a master's as well as a PhD., Bogdanovic's book is impeccably researched. This author's scholarly study serves to further knowledge in architecture, fine arts, and religion. The book is highly recommended for research level library collections in these areas.
Jelena Bogdanovic's monograph offers the first comprehensive study of a microarchitectural unit of generic form and basic tectonic integrity with a vast geographical and chronological span ... the book's major contribution is the re-assessment of the canopy as a powerful signifier, which provided dominant performance frameworks for liturgical and paraliturgical services.
[A] welcome addition to the study of medieval art and architecture, as well as the framing devices, both physical and rhetorical, that were used to make the divine manifest in ecclesiastical space ... This monograph should be a standard reference and starting-point for future discussions of spatial archetypes in Byzantium and the medieval world.
