DE Bohemia - Moravia - Gothic period - church - empora - eastern empora - tribune - empora opening - hagioscope - oratorium - function of empora
SN 02316056
AB This study discusses the neglected problems of eastern emporas (galleries), focusing mainly upon churches with eastern empora with a squint window or hagioscope. Three examples of probable 14th century date can also be found within the area of medieval Prague. They are compared with other analogical cases in Bohemia and Moravia, which have only been marginally discussed in the literature. This article attempts to analyse the functional - typological nature of these features and to define the relevant terms.
