Art, Knowledge, and Papal Politics in Medieval Rome - Interpreting the Aula Gotica Fresco Cycle at Santi Quattro Coronati

This volume offers a thorough investigation of the fresco cycle-which include allegorical representations of the liberal arts, the virtues and vices, the seasons, the signs of the zodiac, and the months of the year-in relation to the papacy's growing interest in fields of worldly knowledge such as music, time, astrology, and medicine.
