Seeing and Being Seen in the Later Medieval World: Optics, Theology and Religious Life - Cambridge Studies in Medieval Life and Thought: Fourth Series
Denery II, Dallas G. (Bowdoin College, Maine)
In the later Middle Ages people increasingly viewed themselves in terms of how they were seen in relation to others, the world and God. This book explores religious handbooks, theological writings and medieval scientific works to show how this question of vision led to a unique concept of the self.
