• Resumen

  • The writer discusses decorative sculptures of Old Testament figures at San Geminianio, the Romanesque cathedral in Modena, Italy. She argues that the figures adorning the inner faces of the doorposts of the center portal of the facade appear to emphasize the liturgical and juridical role of the church and its clergy, and that they reflect and embody the concerns of the Gregorian Reform and the Investiture Controversy.
