Synopsis
The study is based on a multidisciplinary approach from the perspective of science, religion and art. Biblical and scientific approaches - namely computistics and astronomy - are juxtaposed. By contrasting pictorial representations, written interpretations and historical facts, it becomes convincingly clear how strongly scientific representations and biblical iconography have influenced each other. Medieval scribes and illuminators did not separate these two genres. In the course of recent research, the work shows that Isidore of Seville, Beda Venerabilis or Alcuin were extremely important mediators of ancient cosmological knowledge for the modern world and that Christian authors have made lasting and still relevant contributions in the scientific field. One of these fields is computistics, originally the calculation of the exact date of Easter, in a broader sense the calculation of time. The spiritual nature of medieval science is extremely valuable for the comparison of science and art against the background of the main messages of the Christian faith. This work is the first to systematically describe the significance of the so-called Schematisms for the interpretation of medieval art, beginning in the Carolingian period and spanning a period of 300 years. Previously unknown illuminations are included in the analysis. The work convincingly illustrates the close interweaving of iconography - formed by schematic representations - and eschatology.

Das gilt besonders für jene Religionen und Kulturen, die an ein Leben nach dem Tode glauben. Die faszinierende, aber auch erschreckende Erwartung des Endes hat immer wieder Anlass gegeben, den Zeitpunkt seines Kommens zu bestimmen. Dieser Band leistet Pionierarbeit bei der Analyse der apokalyptischen Erwartungen im mittelalterlichen Europa zwischen 800 und 1000. Die Arbeit zeigt im Zuge der jüngeren Forschung, dass Isidor von Sevilla, Beda Venerabilis oder Alcuin überaus wichtige Vermittler des antiken kosmologischen Wissens für die moderne Welt waren und dass christliche Autoren nachhaltige und bis heute relevante Beiträge auf wissenschaftlichem Gebiet geleistet haben. Eines dieser Gebiete ist die Komputistik, ursprünglich die Berechnung des exakten Ostertermins, im weiteren Sinne die Berechnung der Zeit. Die spirituelle Prägung mittelalterlicher Wissenschaft ist außerordentlich fruchtbar für den Vergleich von Wissenschaft und Kunst auf dem Hintergrund der Hauptaussagen des christlichen Glaubens. Dieses Arbeit beschreibt erstmals systematisch die Bedeutung der sog. Schematismen für die Interpretation mittelalterlicher Kunst, beginnend in der karolingischen Periode und einen Zeitraum von 300 Jahren umspannend. Bislang unbekannte Illuminationen werden in die Analyse einbezogen. Die Arbeit verdeutlicht überzeugend die enge Verflochtenheit von Ikonographie - geformt von schematischen Darstellungen - und Eschatologie.

The End of Time in the Order of Things: Science and Eschatology in Early Medieval Art
Seller: Leopolis, Kraków, Poland
Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Hardcover. Condition: Fine. 8vo (24.5 cm), 288 pp, 184 plates. Publisher's cloth and dust jacket. The end of time preoccupied medieval artists particularly around the portentous dates of 800 and 1000. This detailed and annotated study of early medieval art, especially Carolingian, Ottonian and Anglo-Saxon illuminated manuscripts and carvings, searches for this expectation of the Apocalypse in motifs and symbols. Kuehnel reveals examples of scientific diagrams in Biblical art and identifies other meanings for the cross, circles and squares. The study, which is fully-referenced to the colour and black and white photographs that can be found at the end, also explores the links between early medieval Christianity, mathematics and science.
