Buongiorno,
sto traducendo un libro dedicato all'architettura e agli arredi delle chiese nelle varie epoche storiche.
Trovo questa descrizione di una sorta di trono contornato di angeli:

The angels shown here top the poles called riddle posts which support the riddle curtains in between.

L'unico riferimento che ho trovato è in un sito che pubblicizza arredi sacri di tipo neogotico. Qualcuno sa come posso tradurre riddle e quindi riddle post e riddle curtain?
Grazie

io specificherei: tende da altare del tipo detto "riddle", visto che non sembra esserci corrispondenza in italiano

Grazie!
agree Ivana Giuliani : Esattamente tende ai lati dell'altare. riddle o riddel deriva dal francese rideau. Forse potrebbe andare anche cortina.

Brava Ivana! Grazie
agree Giuseppe Bellone : Ho trovato che il senso di "riddle" è anche "pannello" quindi qui potrebbero essere anche chiamati "tendoni" e quinidi "supporti per tendoni laterali", cosa ne dici? http://thinkexist.com/dictionary/meaning/riddle/

misterioso/riddle

Effettivamente ci sono pochissimi riferimenti a questi elementi, sebbene si riferiscano tutti allo stesso periodo storico.

Il termine "misterioso" mi è venuto in mente dalla definizione del genere poetico riddle:
http://it.wikipedia.org/wiki/Riddle

Ho trovato poi un altro link che riporta i riddle posts:

Spero ti aiutino, sono spiacente di non essere più utile di così! In bocca al lupo!

"Certainly, riddle posts do not in themselves constitute a rite, whether Sarum or any other. Actually, riddel curtains (the word riddel is derived from the French rideau, simply meaning a curtain, including domestic curtains for windows) are not exclusively English – I saw some in Bruges, Belgium, a few weeks ago. They can also be found occasionally in the north of France and parts of Germany. It’s a part of the northern European liturgical culture, though their origin is the curtains that hid the altar in the early Roman Church. The rails are still on the baldachinos of some of the old Roman basilicas. Our riddel posts are merely the relic of the four baldachino pillars."

Baldacchino
In origine il termine (orientale) indicava quattro aste che reggevano
un drappo di stoffa posta sopra un oggetto o un personaggio importante
Oggi indica una copertura retta da quattro colonne

riddel curtains

riddel(I) or riddle. In a church, the curtains suspended around an altar, sometimes from rods fixed into the wall behind, but more often from some means of hanging spanning between riddel-posts: there were normally four of the last, polygonal on plan, coloured and gilded, and crowned by angels, often supporting candelabra. Arrangements of riddels behind and around altars seem to have been not uncommon in England towards the end of the Gothic period, in the decades immediately before the iconoclasm of C16, and were revived in the early C20 during the late flowering of the Gothic Revival, notably by Comper and Temple Moore.
