Description
Ilene H. Forsyth provides a rigorous examination of the 'Sedes Sapientiae'—the Throne of Wisdom—as a central iconographic motif in medieval European sculpture. Through meticulous analysis of wooden cult images, the author explores the theological significance, stylistic evolution, and liturgical function of these representations of the Virgin Mary as the throne for the Christ Child.
