medieval-religion: Scholarly discussions of medieval religion and culture

Illustribus,
I would strongly recommend Stuart Clark's /Vanities of the Eye/.

It is early modern in focus, but it has enough background to be useful and so of the debates he examines from a 16th C. context are relevant earlier.

Best,

Richard

medieval-religion: Scholarly discussions of medieval religion and culture

Greetings all,
Ím wondering whether any of you can give me a lead on where to find out about the relative importance of vision (as opposed to hearing) as a  means of gaining knowledge? I dońt want to get into the iconoclast controversy, but Ím  wondering what philosophers and/or theologians had to say about this in the 12th century or later. Can anyone point me to some bibliography?
Thanks,
Meg
