Summary:

Reading Images from the Past is conceived as a Festschrift for Karl Enenkel. The contributors include art historians, literary scholars, and historians, and the topics cover a wide range of periods, countries, and cultural contexts. They explore the complex relation between word and image, consider the rhetorical and hermeneutic functions of various types of image-making, and examine theories and practices of knowledge production across various media. They also reflect on the multi-faceted uses of the past in early modern European culture within debates on art, antiquarian studies, book culture, literature, and historiography. Throughout the volume, special attention is paid to the interaction amongst visual and textual forms and materials. Contributors: Barbara Baert, Susanna de Beer, Frans Blom, Wietse de Boer, Stijn Bussels, Arjan van Dijk, Jan van Dijkhuizen, Anna Dlabačová, Reindert Falkenburg, Christine Göttler, Harald Hendrix, Jan L. de Jong, Marc Laureys, Coen Maas, Walter S.
