Tech/Engineering - Mimarlık / Churches | | İspanyolca terim veya ifade: interesante alforje en el coro. | | The text is a brief description of a Spanish church. The full sentence here reads "Las bóvedas en general, de terceletes e interesante alforje en el coro". I cannot for life of me determine what the "alforje" is. It does not appear in any of the technical dictionaries I have or on www.rae.es. |

Thomas Fryer: 21:31 Feb 10, 2008: Name of Church - Iglesia de la Asunción in Monreal del Llano in Castilla La Mancha

aceavila - Noni: 09:25 Feb 11, 2008: "Próximamente comenzarán las obras de conservación y restauración en el alfarje (artesonado de madera) situado bajo el coro de la iglesia parroquial de Santa María Magdalena, de Orgaz."

trnet: 11:57 Feb 11, 2008: Thomas. I would call this simply "delicate carved ornamental timber work in the choir". It is on the underside of the choir floor as seen from below, and there are many of these fine examples in Spanish churches.

It took me a while to find this beasty. I am more inclined to believe alforje is a typo for ALFARJE which refers to the underside of the choir box.
El Diccionario Espasa-Calpe dice (y lo confirma la RAE):
Alfarje m. Techumbre plana con maderas labradas, ornamentadas y entrelazadas artísticamente, que puede estar dispuesta para servir de suelo a la planta superior: ejemplo > alfarje de nogal.

Of course the choir box ornamental ceiling (artesanado) is the view from below the choir i.e. from the church floor level, as described by the author of the article. Artesanado is the description given by Espasa, RAE and Maria Moliner. |
