170 x 225 mm, 144 pages, black and white printing, perfect bound, soft cover, 2023What’s history? Dante Aligheri ensconced Joachim of Fiore, di spirito profetico dotato, in the hea ven of the wise (Paradiso XII) as testament to the earlier writer’s visionary exegesis of John’s Apocalypse, the scripture’s last book, from which the Calabrian abbot exegeted a pictorial history of the world’s successive stages, culminating in the age of the Holy Spirit. David Brazil’s figurae collects the first eight fascicles of a projected sequence of twenty-two into a singular meditation on form, time, hope, faith, and song. We grow out of the Bible: Paul Celan.
