Kunst Und Schönheit Im Mittelalter by Umberto Eco
A probing collection of essays that maps how medieval thinkers and artists understood beauty, presenting art as a system of signs rooted in theology, rhetoric and social function rather than in modern notions of individual expression; it traces classical legacies, the use of allegory and imitation, and the interplay of image and text to convey moral and metaphysical truths, reorienting readers to the period’s symbolic logic and the practical roles of art in liturgy, pedagogy and civic life.
