In this book, 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.
Depicting all time, all space, all matter, all human history, and
all spiritual striving, this highly polemical painting deals with a
series of cultural issues crucial in the education of society's
elite during one of the great periods of intellectual change in
Western history."
