Seeing Through the Veil: Optical Theory and Medieval Allegory
During the later Middle Ages, new optical theories were introduced that located the power of sight not in the seeing subject, but in the passive object of vision.

| Zusammenfassung: | During the later Middle Ages, new optical theories were introduced that located the power of sight not in the seeing subject, but in the passive object of vision. This shift had a powerful impact not only on medieval science but also on theories of knowledge, and this changing relationship of vision and knowledge was a crucial element in late medieval religious devotion. In Seeing through the Veil, Suzanne Conklin Akbari examines several late medieval allegories in the context of contemporary paradigm shifts in scientific and philosophical theories of vision.After a survey on the genre of allegory and an overview of medieval optical theories, Akbari delves into more detailed studies of several medieval literary works, including the Roman de la Rose, Dante's Vita Nuova, Convivio, and Commedia, and Chaucer's dream visions and Canterbury Tales. The final chapter, 'Division and Darkness,' centres on the legacy of allegory in the fifteenth century. Offering a new interdisciplinary, synthetic approach to late medieval intellectual history and to major works within the medieval literary canon, Seeing through the Veil will be an essential resource to the study of medieval literature and culture, as well as philosophy, history of art, and history of science |

Jan 2019) During the later Middle Ages, new optical theories were introduced that located the power of sight not in the seeing subject, but in the passive object of vision. This shift had a powerful impact not only on medieval science but also on theories of knowledge, and this changing relationship of vision and knowledge was a crucial element in late medieval religious devotion. In Seeing through the Veil, Suzanne Conklin Akbari examines several late medieval allegories in the context of contemporary paradigm shifts in scientific and philosophical theories of vision.After a survey on the genre of allegory and an overview of medieval optical theories, Akbari delves into more detailed studies of several medieval literary works, including the Roman de la Rose, Dante's Vita Nuova, Convivio, and Commedia, and Chaucer's dream visions and Canterbury Tales. The final chapter, 'Division and Darkness,' centres on the legacy of allegory in the fifteenth century. Offering a new interdisciplinary, synthetic approach to late medieval intellectual history and to major works within the medieval literary canon, Seeing through the Veil will be an essential resource to the study of medieval literature and culture, as well as philosophy, history of art, and history of science In English Dante Alighieri 1265-1321 La vita nuova (DE-588)4131956-4 gnd rswk-swf Dante Alighieri 1265-1321 Divina commedia (DE-588)4113270-1 gnd rswk-swf Jean de Meung -1305 Roman de la rose (DE-588)4128615-7 gnd rswk-swf Chaucer, Geoffrey 1343-1400 The Canterbury tales (DE-588)4135927-6 gnd rswk-swf Dante Alighieri 1265-1321 Il convivio (DE-588)4318152-1 gnd rswk-swf Geschichte 1250-1500 gnd rswk-swf Literatur (DE-588)4035964-5 gnd rswk-swf Sehen Motiv (DE-588)4180706-6 gnd rswk-swf Schlaf Motiv (DE-588)4179659-7 gnd rswk-swf Optik (DE-588)4043650-0 gnd rswk-swf Kunst (DE-588)4114333-4 gnd rswk-swf Allegorie (DE-588)4001236-0 gnd rswk-swf 1\p (DE-588)4006804-3 Biografie gnd-content Literatur (DE-588)4035964-5 s Allegorie (DE-588)4001236-0 s Optik (DE-588)4043650-0 s Sehen Motiv (DE-588)4180706-6 s Geschichte 1250-1500 z 2\p DE-604 Dante Alighieri 1265-1321 Divina commedia (DE-588)4113270-1 u Chaucer, Geoffrey 1343-1400 The Canterbury tales (DE-588)4135927-6 u 3\p DE-604 Jean de Meung -1305 Roman de la rose (DE-588)4128615-7 u Dante Alighieri 1265-1321 Il convivio (DE-588)4318152-1 u Dante Alighieri 1265-1321 La vita nuova (DE-588)4131956-4 u 4\p DE-604 Kunst (DE-588)4114333-4 s 5\p DE-604 Schlaf Motiv (DE-588)4179659-7 s 6\p DE-604 https://doi.org/10.3138/9781442679702 Verlag URL des Erstveröffentlichers Volltext 1\p cgwrk 20201028 DE-101 https://d-nb.info/provenance/plan#cgwrk 2\p cgwrk 20201028 DE-101 https://d-nb.info/provenance/plan#cgwrk 3\p cgwrk 20201028 DE-101 https://d-nb.info/provenance/plan#cgwrk 4\p cgwrk 20201028 DE-101 https://d-nb.info/provenance/plan#cgwrk 5\p cgwrk 20201028 DE-101 https://d-nb.info/provenance/plan#cgwrk 6\p cgwrk 20201028 DE-101 https://d-nb.info/provenance/plan#cgwrk |
