Resumen de The Body at the Funeral: Imagery and Commemoration at Notre-Dame, Paris, 1304�18
In the early fourteenth century, two funeral images of prominent clergy members were incorporated into the preexisting obituary text of the cathedral of Notre-Dame of Paris. Virtually unrecognized by scholars except in the occasional stylistic analysis, these illuminations are in fact important evidence of the crucial role of the physical body in memorial strategies. When these images are resituated in their liturgical context, it becomes evident that images fail to wholly take the body’s place in fourteenth-century commemorative practices.
