METEΩΡΑ – Interdisciplinary Research

Meteorological Phenomena in Image and Text from Antiquity to the Early Modern Period

The interdisciplinary research project METEΩΡΑ initiated at Trier University (Germany), takes as its objects of study both written accounts and pictorial representations of meteorological phenomena, ranging from ancient and late antique sources through the medieval Arabic and Latin traditions to the late Renaissance and the early modern period.

The project, led by Ulrike Gehring (Art History, Trier) and Andreas Lammer (Philosophy, Nijmegen), endeavors to evaluate these cross-epochal materials as scientific objects, which entails a rigorous analysis and interpretation of these textual and aesthetic sources.
