Within the perspective of a cultural history of gesture, a special group is represented by gestures that were considered as appearing in dreams and visions.

Abstract

Within the perspective of a cultural history of gesture, a special group is represented by gestures that were considered as appearing in dreams and visions. While the literature on dreams and their interpretation had long explored and included that area of human experience, such an aspect of cultural reflection offers another example of a subject area for which the Italian Renaissance – and the work of a protagonist as Girolamo Cardano – may make a particularly interesting case for historical inquiry.
