Abstract
La multiplicación de estudios sobre arquitectura medieval desde diferentes perspectivas a lo largo de los siglos XIX, XX y XXI ha dejado de lado, sorprendentemente, una de las realidades visuales más impactante: me estoy refiriendo al tratamiento de la luz en los interiores eclesiales. Más allá de los tópicos sobre la escasez de iluminación de los templos anteriores a 1150 y dela vertiginosa carrera por aprovechar las nuevas estructuras que vaciaron progresivamente los vanos a partir de esas fechas, la realidad es que los estudiosos de las iglesias no han desarrollado hasta ahora ni los cómputos, ni los métodos, ni la terminología que el conocimiento riguroso dela iluminación natural en los interiores eclesiales requiere. Ese es el objetivo de la tesis, que a finde establecer un modo de aproximación eficaz a este fenómeno histórico-artístico ha concentrado los esfuerzos en un marco espacial y cronológico abarcable: las iglesias hispanas de la Alta y la Plena Edad Media...
