medieval-religion: Scholarly discussions of medieval religion and culture Re: [M-R] ''Pulpitum miri decoris construxit''



Jubé n.m. (Archit.)
Clôture analogue à l'iconostase des églises grecques, séparant le choeur
de la nef, et surmontée d'une galerie.
 Ce portique apparait en France à la fin du XIIe s.
Il procède à la fois du chancel, des ambons, ainsi que du tref des anciennes basiliques chrétiennes, et du doxal des églises antérieures au XIIe s.
Le nom de 'Jubé' lui vient du premier mot de la formule par laquelle
le lecteur placé dans la galerie demandait au célébrant la bénédiction
avant de lire : 'Jube Domne benedicere' *)

-All. Doxale, Lettner.
angl. choir screen, jube
esp. ambón romano
ital. pontile tramezzo

*) Please notice the analogy with the settings of the old
Byzantine 'Trisagion' rite, leading up to the solemn gospel reading.
[Just a shared note for my own recollection of a long forgotten pensum].

But the screens at Salisbury, Exeter and York were across the *eastern* arch of the crossing, and thus the lofts didn't directly communicate with the nave.
Also Lincoln and Wells.  And Chartres, of course  :-)
