The Corpus of Medieval Misericords (XIII-XXVI) consists
of five volumes; the first four focus on the misericords and
related choir stall carvings in specific regions of Europe. The
fifth includes an extensive iconographic index of themes common to
various countries as well as themes that are unique to a single
country.
Volume III of this series, Medieval Misericords in Belgium
and the Netherlands, covers the churches in the Low Countries
that still contain gothic misericords with carved figures and
narratives inspired by oral traditions such as proverbs and folk
tales, as well as by manuscript marginalia, romanesque capitals,
illustrated bibles, engravings, playing cards... A vast portrayal
of medieval life - rural activities, urban occupations, conjugal
relationships, monastic life - is displayed in these carvings under
the seats of choir stalls along with costumes of the times, town
and collegiate architecture, mechanical devices.

The Corpus of Medieval
Misericords (XIII-XXVI) consists of five volumes; the first four
focus on the misericords and related choir stall carvings in specific
regions of Europe. The fifth includes an extensive iconographic index
of themes common to various countries as well as themes that are unique
to a single country.
Volume I of this series, Medieval
Misericords in France, covers approximately 300 churches that still
contain gothic misericords with carved figures and narratives inspired
by oral traditions suh as proverbs and folk tales, as well as by
manuscript marginalia, romanesque capitals, illustrated bibles,
engravings, playing cards... A vast portrayal of medieval life - rural
activities, urban occupations, conjugal relationships, monastic life --
is displayed in these carvings under the seats of choir stalls along
with costumes of the times, town and collegiate architecture,
mechanical devices. Puns and rebuses are often intertwined with these
themes to produce comic and, to twenty-first century eyes, mysterious
puzzles. The global view of misericord carvings, generally ignored in
studies of medieval art, is here presented as a multidisciplinary basis
for further research by sociologists, historians, archeologists and
other medieval scholars.
Following volumes include misericords
in Iberia, Flemish and borthen Europe, Great Britain.
This volume examines the medieval choir stalls, especially their
misericords, in the Iberian Peninsula: Portugal and Spain, most of
which are extraordinarily beautiful. Fourteen churches in Spain and two
in Portugal still have sets of Gothic choir stalls. These sixteen
cathedrals, churches and monasteries compare with over two hundred
churches with medieval choir stalls in France. The Iberian choir stalls
are mainly the original sets for that church. Those at Belmonte,
however, were moved from Cuenca but they were the original set at
Cuenca where they were replaced by Baroque stalls. The set that was
destroyed at Tomar has also not been replaced with Gothic stalls. It
should also be noted that while fewer churches are surveyed in this
second volume, the percentage of narrative carvings is higher in Spain
than in France where many of the early carvings are foliate.
750 misericords with narrative motifs have been identified on the
Iberian stalls as compared with over one thousand in France. Such
comparisons indicate the richness of the Iberian stalls, which have
over twice as many narrative carvings per ensemble as the French
stalls. This profusion of carvings necessitates a rather lengthy
iconographic index in this volume. Most of the motifs on stalls in
north and central Europe are repeated on the Iberian stalls. There are,
however, fewer examples of some themes and more of others. It is rare
in Iberia to find a carving of a New Testament scene. No set is
concerned totally with the Old Testament as at Amiens and the former
set at St Victor of Paris. However, Aristotle still carries Phyllis on
his back, the fox preaches to the barnyard animals, the mermaid carries
her mirror and comb and the peasant carries his sack to ease the burden
on the donkey. The proverbs in Spain and Portugal are mainly Flemish
with some additional local sayings. We see more of Hercules in Iberia
and more illness.
In addition to carved misericords in
Iberia, sculptures adorn the arms, dorsal panels, canopies, and
partitions between the seats, arm-rests and other structural
components. Some of these elements, such as canopies on the base stalls
and canopy dividers (roundels or teardrop-shaped projections at the
junction of the canopy with the dorsal panel on both base and high
stalls) do not even exist on the choir stalls of other countries.
Arm-rests in Iberia are usually elaborate and complement the motifs on
the misericords. The profane carvings on these parts of the stalls are
listed briefly in this volume since they are usually directly related
to the misericord motifs. The battling couple may be seen not only on
misericords but also on arm-rests, jouée panels, dorsal friezes and
interdorsal roundels. The fable of The Fox and the Stork is repeated no
less than four times on different parts of the Oviedo choir stalls. The
men who carry the riches from the Promised Land on a Toledo misericord,
show their fatigue by dropping their burden on a capping rail frieze. A
mermaid swims on a misericord but attacking monsters surround her on a
dorsal frieze. The repetition of profane carvings is unusual on choir
stalls in other countries. At Hoogstraten in Belgium, however, a man
gapes before the oven on a misericord and also on an
arm-rest.
