Studies in Late Medieval Wall Paintings, Manuscript Illuminations, and Texts cover

This volume is an interdisciplinary consideration of late medieval art and texts, falling into two parts:  first, the iconography and context of the great Doom wall painting over the tower arch at Holy Trinity Church, Coventry, and second, Carthusian studies treating fragmentary wall paintings in the Carthusian monastery near Coventry; the devotional images in the Carthusian Miscellany; and meditation for “simple souls” in the Carthusian Nicholas Love’s Mirror of the Blessed Life of Jesus Christ. Emphasis is on such aspects as memory, participative theology, devotional images, meditative practice, and techniques  of constructing patterns of sacred imagery.
