Individual in Middle Age. A Case Study: Opicinus de Canistris.
Autobiographical drawings accompanied by texts produced by an Italian cleric Opicinus de Canistris the first half of the XIVth century shed new ligth onto the structure of human personality of the Late Middle Ages. The inverted relationship bet ween microcosm and megacosm displayed in the act that the person of Opicinus absorbs the entire Europe and Mediterranean as well as his megalomania. Opicinus insists that he is responsible for the sins of the mankind testify to the destruction of the traditional world-view. Pictorial means of self-expression gave the cleric who seems to be mentally unbalanced more freedom to reveal his psychology than it was possible to his great contemporaries Dante and Petrarch.
