Cloisters
of Europe: Gardens of Prayer
by Daniel Faure (Photographer), et al
If the church is said to be the soul of an abbey, the cloister is surely
its heart. The cloister, a space secluded—as its Latin derivation suggests—within
four galleries is at once a place of peace and a ceaseless crossroads.
As the hub of all activity, through which monks progressed from task to
task and prayer to prayer throughout the day from matins to vespers, its
classic layout inspired some of the most extraordinary and varied architectural
treasures of the world. Cloisters of Europe covers the cloister throughout
western Europe—Spain, France, Italy, Portugal, and Britain—between the
ninth and fifteenth centuries and is a celebration of art and architecture
from stark pre-Romanesque to flamboyant late Gothic. With an enlightening
introduction to the history of religious orders and their devotional life,
it is a magnificently illustrated monument to art, antiquity, and spiritual
profundity. The Publisher.
