City And Cosmos
Presents an exploration of what 'the city' represented in the medieval imagination. This title shows that, to the medieval mind, the city was not merely a 'collection of houses', it was an idea rich in Christian symbolism and cosmological meaning. It offers an interpretation of how medieval Christians saw their urban worlds.
