Krátky popis
A fascinating and highly original history of medieval magic told
through twenty key illuminated manuscripts &,nbsp, Medieval
Europe was preoccupied with magic. From the Carolingian Empire to
Renaissance Italy and Tudor England, great rulers, religious
figures, and scholars sought to harness supernatural power. They
tried to summon spirits, predict the future, and even prolong
life.Alongside science and religion, magic lay at the very heart of
culture. &,nbsp, In this beautifully illustrated account, Anne
Lawrence-Mathers explores the medieval fascination with magic
through twenty extraordinary illuminated manuscripts. These books
were highly sought after, commissioned by kings and stored in great
libraries.They include an astronomical compendium made for
Charlemagne’s son, The Sworn Book of Honorius, used by a secret
society of trained magicians, and the highly influential Picatrix.
This vivid new history shows how attitudes to magic and science
changed over the medieval period—and produced great works of art as
they did so.
