This volume concerns premodern understandings of vegetal nature that encompass multiple semantics and perspectives. Scholars from the disparate fields of art history, literature, and religious studies present tantalizing studies of trees and plants in sacred and secular thought. Some discuss the concept of the Book of Nature and its implications. Others explore narratives of symbiosis between humans and vegetal material, tree-dwelling hermits, spirits metamorphosing into wood, flowers or trees that sprout from bodies or the dissolution of the self into the natural world. Complementary to these approaches are studies that suggest a collapsing of time and space in spiritually charged yet ambiguous natural motifs or topographies where forests or groves are spaces of transformative experience.

Some discuss the concept of the Book of Nature and its implications. Others explore narratives of symbiosis between humans and vegetal material, tree-dwelling hermits, spirits metamorphosing into wood, flowers or trees that sprout from bodies or the dissolution of the self into the natural world. Complementary to these approaches are studies that suggest a collapsing of time and space in spiritually charged yet ambiguous natural motifs or topographies where forests or groves are spaces of transformative experience.</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="588" ind1=" " ind2=" "><subfield code="a">Description based on online resource: title from PDF title page(EBook Central, Viewed September 4, 2023).</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="650" ind1=" " ind2="0"><subfield code="a">Christianity and culture.</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="650" ind1=" " ind2="0"><subfield code="a">Plants</subfield><subfield code="x">Religious aspects</subfield><subfield code="x">Christianity.</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="650" ind1=" " ind2="0"><subfield code="a">Christian art and symbolism.</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="776" ind1="0" ind2="8"><subfield code="i">Print version:</subfield><subfield code="a">Lamsechi, Guita</subfield><subfield code="t">Spiritual Vegetation</subfield><subfield code="d">Gottingen : Vandenhoeck &amp; Ruprecht,c2022</subfield><subfield code="z">9783847114260</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="700" ind1="1" ind2=" "><subfield code="a">Trînca, Beatrice,</subfield><subfield code="e">editor.</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="700" ind1="1" ind2=" "><subfield code="a">Petry, Tobias,</subfield><subfield code="e">editor.</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="830" ind1=" " ind2="0"><subfield code="a">Berliner Mittelalter- und Fruhneuzeitforschung ;</subfield><subfield code="v">Band 26.</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="906" ind1=" " ind2=" "><subfield code="a">BOOK</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="ADM" ind1=" " ind2=" "><subfield code="b">2023-11-09 02:40:32 Europe/Vienna</subfield><subfield code="d">00</subfield><subfield code="f">system</subfield><subfield code="c">marc21</subfield><subfield code="a">2022-04-16 08:57:00 Europe/Vienna</subfield><subfield code="g">false</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="AVE" ind1=" " ind2=" "><subfield code="i">Vandenhoeck &amp; Ruprecht Journals</subfield><subfield code="P">Vandenhoeck And Ruprecht Complete</subfield><subfield code="x">https://eu02.alma.exlibrisgroup.com/view/uresolver/43ACC_OEAW/openurl?u.ignore_date_coverage=true&amp;portfolio_pid=5344007740004498&amp;Force_direct=true</subfield><subfield code="Z">5344007740004498</subfield><subfield code="b">Available</subfield><subfield code="8">5344007740004498</subfield></datafield></record></collection>
