Le Roman de la Rose, France, 15th cent., Yale University, MS 418. |
Writers of literary texts, though, described automata and their makers not in artisanal terms, but instead in elevated terms--as philosophers, sorcerers, and wise men, educated in the deepest secrets and mysteries of nature. However, as these men tried to copy Natura's work, making artificial people and animals, their work was considered debased, as it involved aping divine prerogative and copying natural forms. Natura forges people; people make forgeries.

Amazing illustration with this piece! The hands and feet strewn around... but also, I'm surprised to see a woman at the forge. Is that exceptional for the period? Is it meant to represent Natura herself?
I am glad to read it.
The atmosphere we find in the schools doesn't organize with the earth of school or school as school's air is tremendously exceptional https://australianessays.org/ understudies start from different parts of the world. The teachers we find in universities in like manner not as we find in the schools and their standards not same too.
