Professor Karl Whittington has published a chapter in a new edited volume on water in the Middle Ages. The book is part of an intended four-volume series on “The Elements in the Medieval World: Interdisciplinary Perspectives,” published by Brill. This volume on the element of water, edited by Marilina Cesario, Hugh Magennis, and Elisa Ramazzina, traces medieval understandings of water across a wide range of contexts and cultures. Prof. Whittington’s contribution, “Opicinus de Canistris’s Demonic Seas,” builds on the research from his first book, Body-Worlds, and explores the way that the late-medieval Italian artist and cartographer Opicinus de Canistris pictured the Mediterranean Sea as a demon, building off of longstanding cultural and biblical conceptions of the sea’s danger.
