More about the book
In this authoritative and lively book, Unberto Eco, the celebrated Italian novelist and philosopher, examines the development of some of the principal aesthetic theories and problems of medieval Latin civilization. Eco sets out to explore the relationship that existed between the theories and the artistic experience and practice of medieval culture and by juxtaposing and comparing theology and science, poetry and mysticism, he creates a highly original synthesis of material that is usually kept in separate compartments.
