Wasser in Der Mittelalterlichen Kultur / Water in Medieval Culture : Gebrauch - Wahrnehmung - Symbolik / Uses, Perceptions, and Symbolism

Bok av Gerlinde Huber-Rebenich
Water is life. The human organism, our social relations and cultural achievements all depend on water. Water can preserve or destroy life, unite or separate us, and act as a force for liberation or dissipation. Water calls forth various cultural reactions as an economic, social, and symbolic factor. In the 47 essays collected in this book, medieval scholars from various disciplines consider water in its diverse functions.
