人的身體或鮮血淋漓,或穿金戴銀。飽受折磨,卻備受崇敬。是通往神聖的大門,也是實踐複雜解剖學想法的場所。人體是中世紀世界最具爭議的領域。藉由這段豐富且不尋常的歷史,藝術史學家哈特涅在《中世紀的身體》一書中,揭露了從拜占庭與巴格達,到紐倫堡和諾里治,中世紀民眾思考、探索、感受身體自我的迷人方式。讚頌聖人殉道的繪畫和聖髑盒,把神聖的精神與熟悉的物質連結起來。在文學和政治中,心臟和頭成為強大的隱喻,形塑統治權和社會,這種影響時至今日依然可見。醫師和學者處於一場衝擊的中心,那是幾個世紀以來關於人體的複雜醫學知識與誤解之間的相互拉扯,造成深遠的苦果。這段不尋常的驚人歷史,包含聖人、軍人、國王、王后、哈里發、騎士、修士、奇獸一一登場,如同一齣華麗的中世紀舞台戲劇展開。
哈特涅指出,在歷史過程中,人類身體有兩大顯著作用:
‧身體被認為是人存在的核心;
‧身體是由不同部分進行整體運而形成一個完整有機組織。
根據這兩個作用,中世紀的人們認為,人類的身體組織可以透過不同組成部分的理解而獲得全貌研究。從這方面思考,人類開始醫學上的進步,開始研究疾病和疼痛,以及在今日看來有點謬誤和誤診的奇異治療方式。除了現實層面,他們同時認為,人類身體還有一層超脫於實體之外的複雜奇妙的象徵含義,讓當時的作家、醫生、畫家、工匠可以借「身體」暗喻任何東西,微小如書中字母,龐大到月亮或行星。透過現實和非現實的解讀,使身體的演進在視覺、社會、政治、宗教、文化、藝術等眾多方面,衝擊人類文明和歷史的發展。
《中世紀的身體》每個章節只闡述身體的一個部分,從頭、眼、心,到肌、骨、血。透過對身體脈絡梳理般的探索,研究中世紀醫學與藝術世界,同時針對中世紀社會演變和科學發展進行剖析。讀者將從中發現:身體不僅是一個有機體,更是了解中世紀歷史和觀念的一條連續不斷又緊密連接的重要脈絡。
《中世紀的身體》全書共含95幅彩圖,結合了醫學、藝術、音樂、政治、哲學、宗教及社會史,堪稱是絕佳導覽,帶領我們從頭到腳對於中世紀身體有更多理解,一窺在中世紀生存與死去的男女的真實生活樣貌,並展現出當時令人大開眼界的高超醫學知識。這些中世紀的身體無論是散發芳香或者以黃金裝飾,不管是備受崇敬或遭遇折磨,
甚至死後依舊強大,它們並未沉寂或消逝,仍然可以讓我們了解身為人類的意義。

Store description
In 2002, World of Books Group was founded on an ethos to do good, protect the planet and support charities by enabling more goods to be reused. Since then, we've grown into to a global company pioneering the circular economy. Today, we drive the circular economy through three re-commerce brands: - Wob: Through Wob, we sell. We provide affordable, preloved books and media to customers all over the world. A book leaves our collection of over seven million titles and begins a new chapter every two seconds, enabling more goods to be reused. - Ziffit: Through Ziffit, we buy. We give people around the world the opportunity to contribute to the circular economy, earn money and protect the planet, by trading their unwanted books and media. - Shopiago: Through Shopiago, we help others. By sharing the technology that has grown World of Books Group into the business it is today, we’re helping charities increase revenue and reduce waste through re-commerce.…
