Painting the Hortus deliciarum: Medieval Women, Wisdom, and Time
Joyner, Danielle B. (Visiting Assistant Professor, Lawrence University)
Examines the visual traditions in a lost late twelfth-century manuscript, the Hortus deliciarum, compiled by Abbess Herrad for the sisters of Hohenbourg Abbey in Alsace. Argues that the topic of time, in the context of history, astronomy, and the calendar, was of central importance to the women’s education.
