"Quid est sacramentum?' Visual Representation of Sacred Mysteries in Early Modern
Europe, 1400-1700 investigates how sacred mysteries (in Latin, sacramenta or mysteria)
were visualized in a wide range of media, including illustrated religious literature
such as catechisms, prayerbooks, meditative treatises, and emblem books, produced
in Italy, France, and the Low Countries between ca. 1500 and 1700. The contributors
ask why the mysteries of faith and, in particular, sacramental mysteries were construed
as amenable to processes of representation and figuration, and why the resultant images
were thought capable of engaging mortal eyes, minds, and hearts. Mysteries by their
very nature appeal to the spirit, rather than to sense or reason, since they operate
beyond the limitations of the human faculties; and yet, the visual and literary arts
served as vehicles for the dissemination of these mysteries and for prompting reflection
upon them. Contributors include: David Areford, AnnMarie Micikas Bridges, Mette Birkedal
Bruun, James Clifton, Anna Dlabačková, Wim François, Robert Kendrick, Aiden Kumler,
Noria Litaker, Walter S. Melion, Lars Cyril Nørgaard, Elizabeth Pastan, Donna Sadler,
Alexa Sand, Tanya Tiffany, Lee Palmer Wandel, Geert Warner, Bronwen Wilson, and Elliott
Wise"
