- Summary:
- Historians examine the patterns of affective movement that material and verbal images express and transmit in order to discover and evaluate the epistemological and other potentialities and limitations of the images. The topics include movement and miracle in Michael Psellos' account of the Blachernae Icon of the Theotokos, Dante and Botticelli and the millennial celebration of St. Romauld's martyrdom, image as insight in Joachim of Fiore's Figurae, and Concordus' dream-discovery of a healing saint.
