experience into visual terms. Therefore what Huizinga and Villari

and science and economics.

*     The mounting passion for visualizing knowledge and 
separating functions in the later Middle Ages is given extensive 
documentation in a major study by Ernst H. Kantorowicz. The  
King’s Two Bodies: A Study in Mediaeval Political Theology  
illustrates in detail how medieval jurists were animated by the 
same passion that led later medieval scientists to separate 
kinematics and dynamics, as is described by A. C. Crombie in 
Medieval and Early Modern Science.
