- Title
JARDINES EN UN LIBRO DE HORAS: ASPIRACIÓN POR EL PARAÍSO PERDIDO.
- Authors
Fallena, Rosa Denise
- Abstract
In this study I propose that the floral motifs in the margins of the Newberry Library Book of Hours ms. 52, beyond their function as mere ornamental luxury, have a profound theological meaning related specifically to the Virgin and the history of redemption, and formed a metatext of meanings that alluded to the healing properties of plants and flowers. During the Low Middle Ages, through sensory experiences in the practices of prayer, the idea of paradise as an imagined place of communion, peace and health was evoked and reinforced.
