Abstract(s)
Starting from the cycle of Months depicted on twelfth- and thirteenth-century Tuscan monuments, this paper seeks to discern whether and, if so, how medieval representations inform later generations about actual rural terrain and agrarian practices during the Middle Ages. Combining visual and written medieval sources (notably, the writings of Hugh of St Victor, ca 1096–1141) with studies of historical agricultural production reveals how iconographic choices were informed by both theological conceptualizations and first-hand experience of the physical environment.
