The Areopagite through the Ages: Diagramming the Ps.-Dionysius, c. 600–c. 1600

Lecture by Jeffrey Hamburger, Harvard University

Divide, Ps.-Dionysius Areopagita, Stift Heiligenkreuz, Cod. 111, fol. 83r and 83v, details

In this lecture, Jeffrey Hamburger, Kuno Francke Professor of German Art and Culture at Harvard University, talks about diagrams as spaces of knowledge. The diagram is neither a symbol nor an index; rather, it is an icon – but of a particular type. Diagrams root resemblance in a set of structural relationships shared with that which they represent. 

Images: Divide, Ps.-Dionysius Areopagita, Stift Heiligenkreuz, Cod. 111, fol. 83r and 83v, details.
