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 :-)
