This volume examines the intersections between material and metaphorical mirrors in medieval and early modern culture. Mirrors have always fascinated humankind. They collapse ordinary distinctions, making visible what is normally invisible, and promising access to hidden realities. Yet, these liminal objects also point to the limitations of human perception, knowledge, and wisdom. In this interdisciplinary volume, specialists in medieval and early modern science, cultural and political history, as well as art history, philosophy, and literature come together to explore the intersections between material and metaphysical mirrors in Europe and the Islamic world. During the time periods studied here, various technologies were transforming the looking glass as an optical device, scientific instrument, and aesthetic object, making it clearer and more readily available, though it remained a rare and precious commodity. While technical innovations spawned new discoveries and ways of seeing, belief systems were slower to change, as expressed in the natural sciences, mystical writings, literature, and visual culture. Mirror metaphors based on analogies established in the ancient world still retained significant power and authority, perhaps especially when related to Aristotelian science, the medieval speculum tradition, religious iconography, secular imagery, Renaissance Neoplatonism, or spectacular Baroque engineering, artistry, and self-fashioning. Mirror effects created through myths, metaphors, rhetorical strategies, or other devices could invite self-contemplation and evoke abstract or paradoxical concepts. Whether faithful or deforming, specular reflections often turn out to be ambivalent and contradictory: sometimes sources of illusion, sometimes reflections of divine truth, mirrors compel us to question the very nature of representation.

Les treize études interrogent les deux temps d'une même opération iconoclaste et subversive, à la fois geste violent et processus inexorable, telle qu'elle a pu se traduire sur les terrains religieux, politiques et culturels en France, en Angleterre et aux Pays Bas aux xvie et xviie siècles.

Visual anatomy books have been a staple of medical practice and study since the mid-sixteenth century. But the visual representation of diseased states followed a very different pattern from anatomy, one we are only now beginning to investigate and understand. With Visualizing Disease, Domenico Bertoloni Meli explores key questions in this domain, opening a new field of inquiry based on the analysis of a rich body of arresting and intellectually challenging images reproduced here both in black and white and in color. Starting in the Renaissance, Bertoloni Meli delves into the wide range of figures involved in the early study and representation of disease, including not just men of medicine, like anatomists, physicians, surgeons, and pathologists, but also draftsmen and engravers. Pathological preparations proved difficult to preserve and represent, and as Bertoloni Meli takes us through a number of different cases from the Renaissance to the mid-nineteenth century, we gain a new understanding of how knowledge of disease, interactions among medical men and artists, and changes in the technologies of preservation and representation of specimens interacted to slowly bring illustration into the medical world..

Le gisant est l'image de prédilection de l'art funéraire médiéval. Il est la figure centrale d'une constellation iconographique dont le langage symbolique illustre les croyances et les mentalités. Alors que celles-ci connaissent une profonde mutation à la Renaissance, la figure du gisant reste encore en faveur pendant un siècle pour représenter l'objet de mémoire parentale. La province de Brabant compte une centaine de monuments funéraires à l'effigie du gisant. De valeur certes inégale, ils illustrent toujours la créativité des artistes et artisans du pays. Leur valeur patrimoniale est à redécouvrir. Cet ouvrage en dresse l'inventaire raisonné et en présente un commentaire, relayé par une importante documentation photographique
