medieval-religion: Scholarly discussions of medieval religion and culture Re: vision / sight as a means of gaining knowledge Hi, You can try looking into the clara visio tradition. I write a bit about it in my book, The Gnostic Paradigm: Forms of Knowing in English Literature of the Late Middle Ages, Palgrave Macmillan, 2015 http://www.palgrave.com/page/detail/the-gnostic-paradigm-/?K=9781137474766 You can also find some relevant bibliography there. Hope this helps.

I don´t want to get into the iconoclast controversy, but I´m wondering what philosophers and/or theologians had to say about this in the 12th century or later.
