The cultures of the European Middle Ages were influenced decisively by the interaction of text and images. This volume concerns a wide range of current research methods from various fields of medieval studies disciplines. The contributions handle Western- and Eastern European monuments from late antiquity to the late Middle Ages and also take into view the cross-cultural phenomena of migration and reception of images and texts. The many facets of image-text relations are illuminated and past methods are critically discussed in specific case studies. In addition, ongoing digitization projects for the scientific exploration of images and texts are presented.

According to a longstanding interpretation, book religions are agents of textuality and logocentrism. This volume inverts the traditional perspective: its focus is on the strong dependency between scripture and aesthetics, holy books and material artworks, sacred texts and ritual performances. The contributions, written by a group of international specialists in Western, Byzantine, Islamic and Jewish Art, are committed to a comparative and transcultural approach. The authors reflect upon the different strategies of »clothing« sacred texts with precious materials and elaborate forms. They show how the pretypographic cultures of the Middle Ages used book ornaments as media for building a close relation between the divine words and their human audience. By exploring how art shapes the religious practice of books, and how the religious use of books shapes the evolution of artistic practices this book contributes to a new understanding of the deep nexus between sacred scripture and art.

Im Bereich der Kunst haben Konzepte, bei denen ein Werk aus der Perspektive seines Schöpfers aufgefasst wird, seit langem Konjunktur. Sie spiegeln sich im hohen Stellenwert der Selbstaussagen von Künstlern wider und prägen die Arbeitsweisen der Kunstwissenschaft. Die Publikation reflektiert vor diesem Hintergrund die unterschiedlichen Gattungen der Biographie und ihrer Randbereiche. Untersucht werden Monographien, die Leben und Werk in Form der Künstlerbiographie miteinander verbinden, das "Maskenspiel" der Autobiographie sowie Selbstaussagen von Künstlern in Interviews oder programmatischen Stellungnahmen, schließlich aber auch die Lebenserinnerungen von Kunsthistorikern sowie die intellektuelle Biographie des Gelehrten. In the field of art, concepts in which a work has been considered from the perspective the artists themselves have long been in fashion. They are reflected in how highly artists' statements are valued, and characterize the working methods of art history and criticism. On this basis, the publication looks at the different genres of the biography and its periphery. It examines monographs that connect life and work in the form of an artist's biography, as well as the "masquerade" of the autobiography and what artists say about themselves and their work in interviews or in programmatic statements. It also takes an in-depth look at the memoirs of art historians and the academic biography of the scholar.
