Summary

"Conrad Rudolph studies and reconstructs Hugh of St Victor's forty-two-page written work, The Mystic Ark, which describes the medieval painting of the same name"--In medieval written sources, works of art are not often referred to, let alone described in any detail. Almost completely ignored by art historians because of the immense difficulty of its text, Hugh of Saint Victor's Mystic Ark (c. 1125-1130) is among the most unusual sources we have for an understanding of medieval artistic culture.
