Gothic Architecture and Scholasticism: An Inquiry into the Analogy of the Arts, Philosophy, and Religion in the Middle Ages - Softcover
Synopsis
This book is a sublime example of scholarship in its highest form. That being said it is not a book for the casual reader. Panofsky does not insult your intelligence but expects you to think. This book would be an excellent addition, indeed an mandatory one, for any library of history. I would also recommend this book to anyone studying the 12th-13th centuries. I have read and re-read this book again and again soaking up Panofsky's prose and relishing his intensity of thought regarding a shadowy period in our history. It is a mindopener to the mystery of why gothic architecture looks like it does.

Paperback. black wraps w/ tan & red illustration, white printing. book xvi, 156 pgs w/ 60 bw figures. "It is sometimes thought that art, philosophy, literature develop in hot-house environments, communicating little with each other, influencing but slightly each other's developments and discoveries. Though this view has often been challenged, the modern tradition, dependent in large measure upon attitudes that emerged in the romantic age, often imagines that genius and inspiration somehow overleap their cultural ancestry and surroundings. Erwin Panofsky, in Gothic Architecture and Scholasticism, indicates with grace and humanistic breadth the profound correlation between the development of Gothic architecture and the growth of scholastic philosophy. He succeeds as perhaps few others have, in showing how architectural style and structure provided visible and tangible equivalents to the scholastic definitions of the order and form of thought. Gothic Architecture and Scholasticism is therefore not only an important contribution to the history o fart, but to the history of ideas as well." --WorldCat/Publisher. Good (scuffs, rubbing & light tanning to wraps. front wrap has some seperation from spine glue line w/ opening two pgs detaching. remains tightly bound). Seller Inventory # 198426
