| Description: |
Written by Jane Nitzsche, this book is about Genius, a puzzling allegorical figure, who appears in several major Latin and vernacular works of the later Middle Ages. Originally a spirit or god who survived in Roman religion for at least seven centuries, its history and significance has not previously been examined in detail. |
