The Pulpits of San Miguel at Jerez de la Frontera. Reconstruction and Analysis within the Apocalyptic Programme of the Temple

Abstract

The two pulpits built at the Temple of San Miguel in the 16th century by Pedro Fer- na?ndez de la Zarza were removed two centuries later; they are nowadays preserved at Jerez Muni- cipal Archaeological Museum. An iconographic analysis for each pulpit is provided, attempting a hypothetical reconstruction of both pieces and their lost images. Once rebuilt, pulpits will be con- textualized within the temple iconic programme, whose common thread is the apocalyptic text, in which San Miguel plays a leading role.
