Drawing Analogies in Late Medieval Europe
The article examines systematic expressions of analogical mapping in medieval Europe in their social context, aiming thereby to propose a model for a socio-cultural history of cognition. Mapping the main realms where extraordinarily systematic and repeated analogical mapping took place in late medieval European culture, this article follows the development of systems of analogical mapping from scriptural exegesis to commentaries on liturgy and co…
Aquinas Bound with a Talmudic Fragment
Fragments of manuscripts were constantly used in bindings of new books throughout the medieval and early modern periods. Usually, no intellectual connection exists between the parchment fragment, stripped to its material function, and the text of the new book. We argue that a fifteenth-century codex containing Thomas Aquinas’s Summa theologiae, which was bound with a Hebrew-Aramaic fragment of the Talmud Yerushalmi, presents a unique case of an i…
Medieval Meaning Makers
This article studies the act of suggesting symbolic meanings for Christian divine office in medieval Europe. Twentieth-century anthropology placed great emphasis on the anthropologist as an interpreter of symbolic meanings of ritual, but while using indigenous explanations, it did not address explication as a social practice. The phenomenon of systematic symbolical explanation in medieval Europe, I propose, invites a shift in research questions f…
Medicine and Religion in Early Dominican Demonology

Roland uses contemporary neurological theories of voluntary motion and cognition to explain how precisely demons might move the bodily members of possessed subjects, induce seductive images and implant scientific knowledge. The complex interaction of fields of …
Blind Men Speaking of Colors
In the Second Epistle to the Corinthians, Paul writes: It is doubtless not profitable for me to boast. I will come to visions and revelations of the Lord: I know a man in Christ who fourteen years ago—whether in the body I do not know, or whether out of the body I do not know, God knows—such a one was caught up to the third heaven. And I know such a man—whether in the body or out of the body I do not know, God knows—how he was caught up into Para…
