Gunter Bandmann analyzes the architecture of societies in western Europe up to the twelfth century that aspired to be the heirs to the Roman Empire. He examines the occurrence and recurrence of basic forms not as stylistic evolutions but as meaningful expressions of meta-material content and develops an architectural iconography of symbolic, historical, and aesthetic elements.Architecture, MedievalSymbolism in architectureEuropeChristian art and symbolismMedieval, 500-1500Decoration and ornament, ArchitecturalEuropeDecoration and ornament, MedievalArchitecture, Medieval.Symbolism in architectureChristian art and symbolismDecoration and ornament, ArchitecturalDecoration and ornament, Medieval.720/.94/09021Bandmann Günter397449Böker Hans1723358Wallis Kendall1723359MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910814270503321Early medieval architecture as bearer of meaning4124543UNINA
