Description

Explore the profound connection between nature and human thought in Trees as Symbol and Metaphor in the Middle Ages. Part of the Nature and Environment in the Middle Ages series, this volume examines how trees served as metaphors for kinship and knowledge through literary, historical, art-historical, and philosophical lenses. Rather than looking only at trees as biological entities, this work investigates how humans used arboreal and rhizomatic forms to navigate bodies of knowledge and processes of transition. The study moves beyond the traditional focus on medieval Europe to provide a global perspective. Readers will find discussions on parallel developments within the Islamic world and the traditions of the Maori, the indigenous people of New Zealand. This book is an essential resource for scholars and students interested in how environmental symbols shaped cultural understanding. By comparing different global contexts, it offers a wide-ranging look at how the image of the tree helped people organize their understanding of the world and their place within it.
