The scholarly book "Image and Body in the Middle Ages" offers an in-depth analysis of the complex relationship between visual representations and the human body in the Christian Middle Ages. It examines how new image practices and a growing interest in the body shaped contemporary debates. Author Kristin Marek and her co-authors illuminate the connection between the incarnation and the manifestation of God, which supports the justification of material images. The body is viewed as a medium of salvation history, and the book explores how various body discourses influence representations. Additionally, the role of visions, mental images, and the transference of sacred bodies into material images is addressed. Touch, medial awareness, and craftsmanship are highlighted as central aspects of the discussion.
