War and Peace

Aspects of Versatility of Language and Picture in Law

Abstract

The aim of the study is to compare linguistic and visual expressiveness. The study deals with the words war and peace, which have a complex meaning. The ckeck is carried out on hand of five illustrations of the catalan Vidal Mayor (around 1300), which actually make it clear that there is also a variety of ways of expressing the conditions of war and peace in the image area.
