Speaking to the Eye: Sight and Insight Through Text and Image (1150-1650)

By T. De Hemptinne (editor)

This volume takes as its focus the paradoxical double-bind of textuality and visuality in the culture of the high and late Middle Ages and early modernity. In a series of case studies, contributors explore the historical and theoretical implications of the idea that texts and images alike speak to the eye.
