Description 1 online resource (xl, 708 pages) Series Intersections ; v. 20 Intersections ; 20 Contents Verbum visible: the authority of the visible word -- The authority of visible paratexts -- Reading scripture through images -- Verbal and visual instruments of devotional authority -- Pictorial artifice and the word Summary This book examines scriptural authority and its textual and visual instruments, asking how words and images interacted to represent and by representing to constitute authority, both sacred and secular, in Northern Europe between 1400 and 1700. Like texts, images partook of rhetorical forms and hermeneutic functions ¿́¿ typological, paraphrastic, parabolic, among others ¿́¿ based largely in illustrative traditions of biblical commentary. If the specific relation between biblical texts and images exemplified the range of possible relations between texts and images more generally, it also operated in tandem with other discursive paradigms ¿́¿ scribal, humanistic, antiquarian, historical, and literary, to name but a few ¿́¿ for the connection, complementary or otherwise, between verbal and visual media. The Authority of the Word discusses the ways in which the mutual form and function, manner and meaning of texts and images were conceived and deployed in early modern Europe.
