Not only were they everywhere, they were also seen by nearly everyone, because large sections of the populace were constantly on the move. Carrying an entire spectrum of religious, folkloric and judicial beliefs, these monuments were indeed at the very heart of late medieval life. This is the first critical study of these fascinating and rich structures written by a medievalist art historian. Focusing on the territories of the former Holy Roman Empire, this investigation considers such important edifices as the towering wayside crosses of Wiener Neustadt and Brno or the elaborate pillories of Kasteelbrakel and Wroc?aw, though less ostentatious works such as the Bildstöcke of Franconia and Carinthia or the high crosses of Westphalia and the Rhineland are equally examined. In addition, the study looks at the homiletic, literary, devotional and artistic imagination, in which wayside crosses and other such structures helped constitute a spiritual and allegorical landscape that very much complemented and put pressure on the physical landscapes traversed and inhabited by the contemporary public.

This is the first comprehensive book on the architecture and
imagery of late medieval sacrament houses, those dazzlingly complex
microarchitectural structures designed for the paraliturgical
reservation and display of the eucharistic and real
present body of Christ. The study is embedded in a
discussion of sacramental theology and devotion, and traces the
development of this genre of furnishing from the introduction of
the Corpus Christi feast in 1264 to the first decades of the
Counter-Reformation, from the Low Countries to Hungary and the
Saxon settlements of Transylvania, from the Swedish island of
Gotland to the Swiss Canton of Graubünden. Much of the
argument is devoted to such major sacrament houses as those in
Leuvens Pieterskerk (1450) or St. Lorenz in Nuremberg
(1493-6), though provincial solutions like the dugout tabernacles
of the Brandenburg Marches are equally considered. The book is
intended as a contribution to the study of both Gothic
microarchitecture and the role of the visual in late medieval
devotional culture.
Achim Timmermann teaches art history at the University of
Michigan, Ann Arbor. His research interests cover late medieval art
and architecture, with particular focus on microarchitecture and
the visual stage-management of the body of Christ.
