Description: "The associative pattern that is the subject of this book was prevalent between the mid-eleventh century and the early thirteenth century, entangling scholars, lay and ecclesiastical elites, engraved and imprinted images, the written word, and a set of theological and metaphysical discussions intensely focused on the manner of signification, the matter of representation, and the definition of personhood and individuality."--Introduction, p. 2.
