From the first centuries of Christianity, theologians and philosophers endeavored to convey the Greek concept of man or the balance between body and spirit, or soul, as asuperior source, following in this, on the one hand, the philosophical ideas of Plato and, on the other hand, those of Arist otle. The biblical passage that we have considered as the founding text of this conception of the unity of the body and spirit in man, in Christian perspective, is an excerpt from the first epistle to the Corinthians. The third century Christian sees, in t he same way, the Christian concept of the five spiritual sensesand their correspondences with the five corporal senses. Origins (185?-253?) Has been the initiator of the concept of the spiritual senses leading, mainly, to the reconciliation of the soul a nd the body by the establishment of correspondences between the bodily senses and the spiritual senses whose place is established by the Incarnation of theWord. Some expressions of human anatomy in the manuscripts of the second half of the Middle Ages, sh ow strong similarities with the ideas of Lactantius regarding the relationship between the outer man and the inner man and as to the place given to the head in both site of the soul and where the main organs of the senses reside. As in most areas of theolo gy, the thought of Augustine of Hippo has had a considerable influence on the Christian understanding of the five senses, which implies a deepreflection on the relationship between body and mind in Christianity. We can also mention Pedro Damiano in whom w e find a pronounced interest in the metaphor of the Man city where the senses are compared with doors and windows that give access to the outside world and their knowledge. A famous drawing contained in a manuscript realized in the German abbey of Heilbron n, in century XII, summarizes, in himself, a long part of the explored elements on the relation between the body and the spirit inthe Christian theology of the Middle Ages from the exploration of the five senses. As we will see, the drawing also suggests a deep reflection on the sensory dimension in the journey of man on earth and in the perspective of what he will have to do in the future, guided by the model of Christ and the Christian virtues. On folio 130v, we see a final full page drawing where the ro le of the five senses in the journey of man on earth and in the hereafter is essential. In some aspects, the iconography of the drawings in folio 130v continues the reflection on the theme of the persecution of the Church or, in a broader way, the struggle between good and evil, which is at the center of the image of the men","PeriodicalId":360228,"journal":{"name":"Body and Spirit in the Middle Ages","volume":"3 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-08-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131057567","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
