- Description
- "Glossa Ordinaria" and NPT demonstrate the medieval tendency to accompany a base text with another, more interpretive one, generating further discourse, discouraging closure, and resulting in compound, sometimes conflicting, interpretations or glosses. In particular, both texts exploit the hermeneutic possibilities of animals.
