Recenzii
'This is a thoughtful but rewarding book, especially for anyone interested in the Middle Ages …'. W. D. Spence, Yorkshire Gazette and Herald
'… one of the great strengths of this book is that it gives an idea of the connectedness of medieval visual culture. The reader comes to see that carved stone leaves, a painted elephant and a set of architectural diagrams might have more in common with each other than it would seem at first sight … Givens pulls together her many examples and ideas to argue … a reconsideration of, among other things, the relationship of the visual to the verbal as means for communicating information, of the ways that an image can relate to the object or phenomenon that it describes or depicts, and of the making and use of naturalistic or descriptive images within medieval culture … provides much more than an account of thirteenth- and fourteenth-century artistic practices … Givens shows the value of a broad and interdisciplinary view of medieval visual culture, and of keeping an open mind when looking at images that might at first seem unrealistic.' British Journal for the History of Science
