Seeing is Believing: The Miniatures in the Cantigas de Santa Maria and Medieval Devotional Practices
Abstrak
Abstract:The miniatures that accompany the Cantigas de Santa Maria have been examined in terms of their content, relationship to the text, method of creation and political and religious ideology. In this article I refer to recent research about the medieval practice of Christian devotion to draw out some of the doctrinal messages inherent in the miniatures, messages that have previously been overlooked in favour of stylistic, narrative or archaeological interpretations. I will argue that the miniatures reflect contemporary ideas about the physical effect of vision, and that they illustrate fundamental arguments of Christian theology with reference to the sense of sight.
