- Double-weighted statement
- This book is the culmination of an extended period of research in the history of philosophy, religion and visual culture, drawing upon primary and secondary sources in French, Italian and ancient Greek. Many of these sources have not to date been published in English, and the author translated all quotations from the source texts. It engages with research into philosophical and mystical texts in combination with the recognised disciplinary field of photography, connecting areas in the history of Western thought often treated on their own. The project required extensive use of research libraries and specialist collections.
