Its progressive expansion from seed to maturity is unique in the natural world, it is grounded in the earth and reaches for the sky. Its growth is a process of differentiation: roots, trunk, branches, twigs, leaves and fruit, which makes the tree a perfect image for representing complex content in a structured allegory. From the twelfth century onwards it is increasingly used as a diagrammatic device for the visual systematisation of knowledge in art. This collection of essays presents a series of case studies analysing different manifestations of trees in art and thought from the eleventh through to the fifteenth century. Using a broad range of methodological strategies and examining diverse materials, the contributions in this volume examine how these trees functioned in their original framework. Illuminated manuscripts, wall paintings, stained glass and sculpture all feature as media for the motif, which is explored both for its crucial role in the story of human salvation, and as a visual model for genealogical and historical structures. Presented as a single volume, these essays successfully illustrate the complex network of meaning behind medieval imagery, and provide new insight to our understanding of both message and audience in the Middle Ages.
