Justice Blindfolded gives an overview of the history of "justice"
and its iconography through the centuries. Justice has been
portrayed as a woman with scales, or holding a sword, or, since the
fifteenth century, with her eyes bandaged. This last symbol
contains the idea that justice is both impartial and blind,
reminding indirectly of the bandaged Christ on the cross, a central
figure in the Christian idea of fairness and forgiveness. In this
rich and imaginative journey through history and philosophy,
Prosperi manages to convey a full account of the ways justice has
been described, portrayed and imagined. Translation of Giustizia
bendata. Percorsi storici di un'immagine (Einaudi, 2008).
