ARNSTEINER HANDSCHRIFTENTAGE - Wie Phönix aus der Asche

Image Presentation by Dr. Susan and Dr. Claus Weinert

Like the phoenix rising from the ashes – many people are familiar with this saying. The mythical bird symbolizes renewal and resurrection, even immortality, and appears in numerous cultures. But how do we envision this fascinating being? As a purely mythical creature or somehow real?

A phoenix saves Harry Potter's life with its healing tears in the Chamber of Secrets, but we enjoy a fiction here. Medieval manuscripts such as the Rothschild Canticles – see image – or the Queen Mary Psalter do not only engage with the phoenix through imagination.

What is the truth behind the phoenix myth? Let us listen to unique contemporary documents!
