Angels, Demons and Hungry Dogs: Magic in the Middle Ages, Dr Sophie Page
27 September 2019
Sophie Page, Associate Professor in History at Â鶹´«Ã½ÊÓƵÍøÕ¾, takes us back to the Middle Ages to explore how medieval people imagined the cosmos, and their own world, as swarming with invisible spirits - angels and demons. From a 12th century pious magic text and a 15th century demon conjuring manual to medical illustrations and the natural magic of mandrake roots, this short film offers a glimpse into the beautifully unorthodox side of the medieval European imagination.
