John Mitchell's study at San Vincenzo al Volturno monastery examines the role of visual culture in early medieval Europe. The volume discusses Italy's cultural impact on Europe and explores San Vincenzo's artistic culture, including the use of script in the monastery's physical structure and its role in self-representation.
Using the great south-Italian monastery of San Vincenzo al Volturno, one of the best preserved monasteries of the earliest Middle Ages, as a case-study and heuristic paradigm, John Mitchell has engaged in a wide-ranging examination of the ways in which visual culture was developed and deployed by ambitious states and institutions in early medieval Europe.
The present volume includes studies on the cultural dynamics of Italy and its contribution to the visual complexion of Europe in the period, as well as essays on many aspects of the artistic culture of San Vincenzo, including a series of papers on the display of script in the physical fabric of the monastery and the prominent role it played in its self-image.
