'This is a rich and innovative collection. The sum of its parts confidently asserts that there is an underlying correspondence between philosophical and theological concepts, their transformation into images by visual mechanisms and the linguistic mechanisms which read and interpret the images in Renaissance culture. Such correspondence is certainly mirrored in the exciting interdisciplinary writing of this collection.’ - Journal of European Studies
'This volume is a testament to the interdisciplinary nature of art history, particularly in the author’s consistent problematization of the standard separation of the empirical from the spiritual and their ability to present and answer complicated questions about Renaissance theories of vision.' - Sixteenth Century Studies
