| Popis: | ‘Church’ mazes are so called because most, if not all, were built in churches and cathedrals, attesting to a move from the original myth to a substitute for the pilgrimage to Jerusalem. Like the other two types of mazes, a church maze has only one path, with no crossings and no dead-ends, beginning at the outer edge and ending in the center. This article encompasses a corpus of 33 mazes, extending from the twelfth century to the present. Two groups are distinguished, Italian-French and French-Flemish, showing common as well as distinctive features. Their characteristics are clarified and links between them established. Possible set up processes, easy to recall, are also proposed for each group. |
