| Abstract | This is the third of four sessions which look at medieval religious art and experience between the 10th and the 15th century from the innovative lenses of sensory perception in the context of the ERC project SenSArt (Università degli Studi di Padova). This session focuses on texts and manuscripts, reconstructing how their devotional use could result in a synesthetic experience, in contexts as diverse as 12th-century monastic everyday life, Middle Dutch preaching, and the use of late-medieval Flemish Books of Hours. |
