Abstract

Prompted by the photograph from the archive of Andreas Xyngopoulos of an ecclesiastical wood-carved lectern from Beroia, we have collected and present here ecclesiastical woodcarvings, primarily lecterns for psalters and iconostasis architraves from churches in Kastoria, Great Prespa (Greek and Albanian), and Kosovo. These works, which share common characteristics, belong to the same construction types. They date from the second half of the 14th century, and must have come from workshops in the region, most likely from Kastoria.
