Summary note
This text offers fresh insights into the plethora of medieval bodies and the multiple perspectives that can be assumed in their discussion. The ten essays collected encompass diverse approaches to the body such as the function of gestures, the gendered gaze, and the body's spatial and geographical positioning.
