Book Description
In the first English translation of this authoritative, lively book, the celebrated Italian novelist and philosopher
Umberto Eco presents a learned summary of medieval aesthetic ideas. First published twenty years ago and now translated
into English for the first time, the book juxtaposes theology and science, poetry and mysticism, in order to explore
the relationship that existed between the aesthetic theories and the artistic experience and practice of medieval
culture.
