Description

Explore how odours shaped medieval life and thought in this scholarly examination of olfaction in central and late medieval Western Europe. From incense and spices to cooking and refuse, scents were both omnipresent and deeply meaningful in medieval society. This book examines scholastic Latin texts-many previously untranslated and unedited by modern scholars-to reveal how medieval thinkers between the late eleventh and thirteenth centuries developed a logical theory of smell based on Greek and Arabic learning. Discover how medical authors from the thirteenth through fifteenth centuries applied this smell theory to practical medicine and communicated these ideas to individuals across medieval communities. Published by Routledge, this work in medieval history and culture fills a significant gap in academic understanding of sensory experience and scholastic thought during the Middle Ages.
