Müller, Kathrin, "Sancta Sapientia and the Science of Medicine: A Pair of Twelfth-Century Candlesticks with Female Allegories in Hildesheim", Codex Aquilarensis, 39 (2023), 61-78.
- Resum
- The pair of candlesticks with female allegories in the treasury of St. Mary's Cathedral in Hildesheim epitomizes the appreciation of complex and innovative iconographic programs prevalent in Mosan and French liturgical objects and reliquaries of the twelfth century. The statuettes represent the continents and conflict, medicine, and theory and practice, respectively. The paper argues that the second, seemingly heterogeneous figural group reflects the contemporary discourse on the classification of the sciences and focuses on the notion of medicine as a science. A diagrammatic miniature in an eleventh-century manuscript in Lyon with the personification of medicine offers the definition of the candlestick's center as divina sapientia (divine wisdom) embodied in Christ.
