Description

Explore a unique window into late medieval lay knowledge with this scholarly work from De Gruyter. This volume focuses on the 'Suddeutsche Tafelsammlung' found in the Library of Congress, Rosenwald Collection (ms. 4). It serves as an abbreviated guide to the essential understandings of the era, bridging the gap between physical health and spiritual guidance. The text examines the connection between bodily well-being and external forces, such as planetary influence, bloodletting, and dietetics. It also addresses the pursuit of spiritual salvation through the study of virtue and vice, including the Tree of Virtues and the Tower of Wisdom. Readers will find detailed analysis of historical visual representations, including the relationship between the microcosm and macrocosm. The book covers significant medieval concepts like the dwarf on the shoulders of a giant, the liberal arts, philosophy, and the depictions of women slaves. This work is an essential resource for historians and researchers interested in the intersection of science, religion, and visual culture in the late Middle Ages.
