The Cathedral as a Parish Church: Looking for a parishioners’ place in the Medieval Iberian Cathedrals

Research output: Chapter in BookChapterResearchpeer-review

Abstract

All the cathedrals had the obligation to dedicate part of its clergy to the care of souls, that is, to function as a parish. Within each cathedral chapter, a canon from the high clergy coordinated the chaplains who were in charge of officiating at an altar or chapel destined to be the cathedral parish. But what to do with some faithful who wanted to see the same offices and liturgical acts that the canons saw from their privileged seats in the choir stalls? This article deals with the undefined space dedicated to the laity in the medieval cathedrals of the Iberian Peninsula.
