Summary: | Begins by examining an important precursor trope to the book of the heart, namely the tablet of the heart, and analyses the book of the heart as inaugurated in S. Augustine's "Confessiones". Continues by discussing how various medieval religious writings elaborate the book of heart as a product of an "inner scene of writing", and looks at how late medieval artists and artisans tranformed it from a verbal trope into a visual image, and even a physical artefact. |
