Summary
| Description |
English: Woodcut Philosophia (personification of philosophy), inspired by Boëthius’ Consolation of Philosophy. Four famous wise men (Plato, Ptolemy, Cicero or Virgil, Albertus [Magnus]) represent “Greek philosophers”, “Egyptian priests”, “Roman poets and orators”, “German wise men”. In the corners, the four personificated winds stay for the four cardinal points, elements and temperaments associated with them.

In den Ecken stehen die vier personifizierten Winde für die mit ihnen assoziierten vier Himmelsrichtungen, Elemente und Temperamente. |
