medieval-religion: Scholarly discussions of medieval religion and culture
I am currently researching the reasons for erecting towers on medieval
buildings, particularly religious ones. Surprisingly, at least to me, there
is no shortage of material on Islamic towers and minarets but little on
their application to Christian buildings outside Italy.
Can any list member point me in the direction of any source, primary or
secondary, on why towers and spires were architectural features of Christian
buildings?
