Description
The miraculous intervention of saints or other divine agents, the wondrous realities beyond understanding, or the manifestations of magic attributed to diabolic forces, were contained by a variety of discourses, described and discussed in religion, philosophy, chronicles, literature and fiction, and also in a large number of pictures and material objects.
The nine essays in this collection discusses how supernatural phenomena - especially angels and devils - found visual manifestation in Latin and Eastern Christianity as well as Judaism in the late medieval, early renaissance period.
