ambo, ambon (pl. ambones). Gradus,
lectorium,
lectricium, or
lectern or
pulpit, properly a singing-desk, approached by steps, particularly associated with
Early Christian churches, where there were often two ambones, one on the north (for the reading or chanting of the
Gospel) and one on the south (for the
Epistle) side of the
choir or
presbytery: in San Clemente in Rome the ambones balance each other on each side, and are attached to the
cancelli, or low
screen-walls defining the choir within the main volume of the
nave. Later ambones were connected to constructions separating the
sanctuary from the
nave.
