Publisher's Synopsis
This volume features articles by leading researchers in their respective fields, including studies on mosaics as a medium reflecting space and time; the triptych's potential as a time machine; winged altarpieces mediating eternity; texts and images of the passion of Christ permeating past, present, and future; dimensions of time embedded in maps; a compendium of world knowledge organised by forms of time and temporality; the figuration of prophecy in times of crisis; the portrayal of time in architecture. The volume thus provides a new approach to media and mediality from the perspective of cultural history.
