Bysantinisk prægede krucifikser i højmiddelalderens Danmark – hvordan, hvornår, hvorfor
Get PDFThe royal crucifixes so characteristic of the 12th century only gradually gave way to the Gothic suffering-Christs (Christus Patiens) in Scandinavia. In Denmark we find instances of an earlier, transitional type with a Byzantinizing, right-curving Christ in book illuminations, metalwork, stone and polychrome wooden sculptures. This paper concentrates on the Byzantine-influenced crucifixes that have served in church liturgy. – Although the body of Christ is depicted as dead or dying, these crucifixes present Him with a royal crown and wide open eyes as in the contemporary royal crucifixes. He would thus be presented as both the eternally ruling King of Heaven and the suffering Son of Man. This is of course in full agreement with the teaching that Christ is both totally God and totally human. But such odd combinations, dating mostly from c. 1175–1225, are certainly rare among contemporary European crucifixes. They offer an exceptional insight into the local conditions for the introduction of new theological doctrine in ordinary parish churches. One main reason for the obvious conservatism would have been a (lay and clerical) concern for the dignity of Christ

Get PDFNorwegian Churches By Ebbe Nyborg
Norwegian churches are still in use, even far north beyond the Arctic Circle. But they are also monuments of Christianity down through the ages. They are excellent cultural monuments. Here of course we consider especially the older churches, the stave churches, Norway’s unique contribution to the European cultural heritage, the stone churches and their ruins from the Middle Ages and the wooden churches from the 17th-18th centuries. As far as proportions are concerned, there is only one single Norwegian church, Nidarosdomen, to match the larger West European cathedrals of the Middle Ages. This church, however, represents the whole of Scandinavia with its exquisite architecture and sculptures, the origins of which are still a bit of a research mystery. Neither can it be said that the old, Norwegian churches excel in number and by this make an impression on the countryside. This is due to the fact that far too many churches have been demolished. As we know today there are only twenty-six listed stave churches left out of the hundreds once to be found in the valleys. The churches are key factors in our culture. There can never be too much co-operation and friendship. He we are to celebrate and dwell upon the fertile Nordic co-operation, which thrives in church research, and which for a long time has manifested itself by research gatherings such as this in Søgne. Just think, that we from all Scandinavia know each other personally in our field of work and can learn from each other, be inspired by each other and by positive criticism. It is not only a personal happiness and enrichment. Our co-operation gives an invaluable encouragement both in connection to our own work and challenges, and when we are to enter the international scene and draw attention to the delights of the Scandinavian world
Korbue, krucifiks og bueretabel: Om de ældste vestjyske triumfkrucifikser, deres udformning og anbringelse
Get PDFDomkirkebyen Ribe med dens udstrakte vesteuropæiske handelsforbindelser var i ældre tid hovedby og stiftssæde for hele det vestjyske sletteland fra Tøndermarsken i syd til Limfjorden i nord. De nære vestvendte forbindelser - i særlig grad til Rhinlandet, Westfalen, Nederlandene og Frisland - har givet Jyllands vestegne nogle særegne kulturpræg. Disse indslag kan ikke mindst opleves i de romanske - næsten uforandrede - kirkebygninger. Ikke blot Ribe Domkirke, men en lang række kirkebygninger i egnene op til Ringkøbing Fjord er således helt eller delvist opført af tufsten fra Køln-området - i rhinlandske arkitekturformer. Og i nogle af de rigeste landsbykirker findes prægtige sorte Namur-døbefonte fra Belgien og sandstensfonte fra Bentheim, der må være importeret over Deventer
Om kirketopografi og middelalderlig bydannelse
Get PDFLigesom det øvrige kristne Europa dækkedes Skandinavien i løbet af 1000-1200’årene af et net af sognekirker, der skulle tilvejebringe en almen og bekvem betjening af hele befolkningen. Specielt i Danmark, hvor denne periodes romanske stenkirker står bevaret i etenestående omfang, udgør disse bygninger et meget værdifuldt materiale til belysning af bebyggelsesfordeling og demografi i middelalderen. De stenbygninger, der i næsten alle sogne stod færdigbyggede omkring midten af 1200’rne, var så godtsom altid udformet som det fremgår af grundplanerne af 13 landsbykirker i et område omkring bispebyen Ribe. Kirkerne består af et rummeligt, rektangulært skib til sognets beboere, hvortil i øst slutter sig gejstlighedens domæne, et noget mindre kor gerne med korrunding (apside). Kun de allerfærreste kirker - vel henved 10% af bygningerne - forsynedes allerede i denne periode med tårn eller tårne

Get PDFVed det første kirkearkæologiske symposium - 1981 på Moesgård - fremlagde Knud J. Krogh en overbevisende dokumentation af forbindelsen gård-kirke i det norrøne område. Afsluttende rejste han spørgsmålet, om en lignende sammenhæng oprindelig havde gjort sig gældende i de skandinaviske moderlande. Jeg vil gerne tage den tråd op og mere bredt diskutere de forhold, der kan have været bestemmende for, at vore kirker er blevet opført, hvor de blev. Givetvis har der også i det danske sletteland eksisteret en nær forbindelse mellem kirkebyggeriet og den lokale bebyggelse, men hvilken? Hvor lå overhovedet bebyggelsen i perioden o. 950-1200, da vore kirker placeredes i landskabet
