The Mute Sense: Gautier de Coinci's Miracles de Nostre Dame and the Powers of Olfaction
Abstract
I'm increasingly interested in the sense of smell and its representation in medieval French literature. I'm working on references to the sense of smell and to scents in the poetic corpus of thirteenth-century monastic author Gautier de Coinci.
