Four lectures by Bartlett on medieval understandings of natural and supernatural, concepts of the universe, "marvels" like dog headed people, and Roger Bacon. Bartlett is always interesting and incredibly well-sourced: a rare scholar of the old school who values primary documentation and so has mastered a vast body of medieval literature. The lectures are diverse enough that someone looking for a focused discourse on the titular topic might be disappointed to find the wide spread of subject matter, but each piece is quite excellent.

How did people of the medieval period explain physical phenomena, such as eclipses or the distribution of land and water on the globe? What creatures did they think they might encounter: angels, devils, witches, dogheaded people? This fascinating book explores the ways in which medieval people categorized the world, concentrating on the division between the natural and the supernatural and showing how the idea of the supernatural came to be invented in the Middle Ages. Robert Bartlett examines how theologians and others sought to draw lines between the natural, the miraculous, the marvelous and the monstrous, and the many conceptual problems they encountered as they did so. The final chapter explores the extraordinary thought-world of Roger Bacon as a case study exemplifying these issues. By recovering the mentalities of medieval writers and thinkers the book raises the critical question of how we deal with beliefs we no longer share. Keine Bibliotheksbeschreibungen gefunden. |
