Description

Explore the sensory world of medieval Western Europe with this scholarly study from Routledge. In the central and late Middle Ages, odors ranging from aromatic incense and spices to the scents of cooking and refuse were constant parts of daily life. This book examines how these smells held deep meaning within the culture of the time. Researchers look into scholastic Latin texts to understand how medieval scholars developed logical theories regarding the sense of smell. Drawing from Greek and Arabic learning between the eleventh and thirteenth centuries, these thinkers built a foundation for understanding sensory perception. The text follows this development into the thirteenth through fifteenth centuries, when medical authors began detailing practical applications of smell theory. This work provides a necessary look at how sensory experiences shaped historical understanding. It covers the evolution of smell theory from academic logic to practical medical use, offering a unique perspective on the social and cultural history of the medieval period.
