The Mystic Ark: Hugh of Saint Victor, Art, and Thought in the Twelfth Century
Rudolph, Conrad (University of California, Riverside)
Conrad Rudolph studies and reconstructs Hugh of Saint Victor's forty-two-page written work, The Mystic Ark (c.1125–30), which describes the medieval painting of the same name. Almost completely ignored by art historians because of the immense difficulty of its text, The Mystic Ark is among the most unusual sources we have for an understanding of medieval artistic culture.
