Abstract:
The study of the architecture and of liturgical fixed installations (choir screens, raised levels, altars) of the Ethiopian churches from the 12th century to the middle of the 15th century, makes it possible to identify three types, which can with caution be ascribed to a relative chronology. The first two types, showing differences with post- Aksumite installations, are only documented in Lasta and Wag, which speaks for probable liturgical differences between Lasta and Tigray in the 12th to 13th century. Type 3, mainly characterized by the opening of the corner rooms and their integration into the global inner space of the churches, spread all over Ethiopia in the time of the Salomonian dynasty.
