Summary
What do bathing culture and otium have to do with one another? How the two are linked has so far barely been dipped into by researchers. To change that, the present conference volume diachronically investigates the culture and practices of bathing along with its architecture from antiquity to modern times. Its methodological approach illuminates the subject from the trans-disciplinary perspectives of the history of art, archaeology, medieval studies, musicology and literary studies.
