- Title
Los oratorios privados: espacios y soportes para la devoción y la contemplación (siglos XV y XVI).

- Abstract
The Devotio Moderna movement had a direct impact on the use of private spaces and the objects within them. Domestic religious practices could take place in specially built oratories, but could also be performed in bedrooms, toilets or other nooks and crannies appropriately modified for such purposes. The use of fabrics and ephemeral materials offered multiple possibilities for tailoring different spaces of the house to whatever the requirements might be. We analyse the different types of oratory, in its double meaning of prayer space and portable altarpiece, and the objects that guided the religious experiences of the laity, paying special attention to the role played by texts and images.
