Through the use of these objects, the interior of the church was transformed into the place of the story of salvation, making the events of the Bible manifest. By linking rites and setting, liturgical furnishings could be used to stage a variety of biblical events, in accordance with specific feast days. Examining the interaction of liturgical performance and the ecclesiastical stage, this book explores the creation, function, and evolution of church furnishings and manuscripts.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Nino Zchomelidse\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0271059737\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780271059730\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Penn State University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/20\/2014\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 308\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 3.87lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 10.29h x 9.35w x 1.25d","brand":"Nino Zchomelidse","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44149547598079,"sku":"9780271059730","price":106.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_9c1c88fc-4e81-4cba-ab83-dede7505dd93.jpg?v=1688457259","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/art-ritual-and-civic-identity-nino-zchomelidse-9780271059730","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
