Through discussions of medieval symbols as beauty, wine, sage, sacred and profane passion, moral foundations, the book sheds light on medieval symbols and the evolving role of love in the human spirit. Perfect for scholars and curious readers seeking to bridge historical divides and explore the legacies of the past.
