medieval-religion: Scholarly discussions of medieval religion and culture
For "non-functional" motives of towers you might consider St. Bernard. I
don't have the exact reference but I believe he prohibited the erection of
elaborate bell towers because, he believed, a wooden scaffold would serve as
well? Wouldn't this have been a reaction against "wrong" motives?
