Abstract(s)
À semelhança de outros estaleiros medievais portugueses de dimensões expressivas, a Sé de Silves, que
durante toda a Idade Média foi sede do cabido algarvio, terá obras que se prolongam morosamente pelo
decorrer dos séculos. O processo de edificação do templo, que visava dotar a diocese desta província com
uma igreja digna daquela autoridade, e que se vê complexificado por infortúnios vários, testemunhará a
assimilação de diferentes estéticas que conferem ao monumento a feição complexa que conserva até hoje.
Dentre tais empreitadas destacam-se, neste estudo, aquelas que remontam à vigência do período medievo
e concebem aparelhos construtivos e programas iconográficos que materializam, além de correntes
estilísticas, preceitos religiosos e sociais basilares e intrínsecos ao contexto do qual advêm.
Ambiciona-se, deste modo, a identificação formal do sistema edificado, bem como, a descodificação da
linguagem icónica que figura em elementos arquitetónicos, como capitéis e frisos, e onde o conhecimento
das tradições e simbolismos do abundante imaginário medieval afigura-se evidente.
Like other Portuguese medieval buildings of significant dimensions, Silves Cathedral, which throughout the Middle Ages was the headquarters of the algarvian chapter, was constructed over multiples centuries. The process of building the temple, which aimed to provide the diocese of this province with a church worthy of that authority, was complexified by various misfortunes and testifies to the assimilation of different aesthetics that give the monument the complex appearance that remains to this day. Among the various constructive campaigns, those dating back to the medieval period stand out in this study. The architectural devices and iconographic programs accomplished materialize, in addition to aesthetic, important religious and social precepts of that time. The ambition of this thesis is to formally identify the build system, as well as to decode the iconic language that appears in architectural elements, such as capitals and friezes, and where knowledge of the traditions and symbolisms of the abundant medieval imagery is evidente.
