The deep structure of the Jewish portable sanctuary

Debevec, Leon (author)

The architectural image of the Jewish portable sanctuary is the problem framework of the paper. The conviction that the sacred tabernacle, as a work of God, is a complete work of art leads to a search for starting points to discover the uniqueness of its in-depth structure. The research established two: the first is the preparation of an authentic architectural scheme of the Jewish portable sanctuary as a basis for compositional analyses. The second is dictated by the determination of the possible presence of a compositional tools which manifests itself mainly in the use of proportions. The perceptible richness of the presence of almost the entire range of harmonic proportions is revealed in the texts discussed. Their abundance and affinity dispel the suspicion of accidental presence in the underlying tissue of the architectural image of the portable sanctuary. They rather point to the enviable building skills of the priestly elite and their concern to protect this knowledge from the uninitiated.

• Title: Globinska struktura judovskega prenosnega svetišča

Abstract

Problemski okvir prispevka je arhitekturna podoba judovskega prenosnega svetišča. Prepričanje, da je sveti šotor kot božje delo popolna umetnina, vodi k iskanju izhodišč za spoznavanje edinstvenosti njegove globinske strukture. V raziskavi sta vzpostavljeni dve: prvo je priprava verodostojne arhitekturne sheme judovskega prenosnega svetišča kot podlage za kompozicijske analize. Drugo pa narekuje ugotavljanje morebitne navzočnosti kompozicijskega inštrumentarija, ki se kaže predvsem v uporabi proporcij. V obravnavanih besedilih se razkrije presentljivo bogastvo navzočnosti domala celotnega nabora harmoničnih proporcij. Njihovi številnost in sorodnost razblinjata sum o naključni navzočnosti v podkožju arhitekturne podobe prenosnega svetišča. Prej kažeta na zavidljivo stavbarsko znanje duhovniške elite in skrb, kako to znanje obvarovati pred neposvečenimi.
