520 |a Justice Blindfolded gives an overview of the history of "justice" and its iconography through the centuries. Justice has been portrayed as a woman with scales, or holding a sword, or, since the fifteenth century, with her eyes bandaged. This last symbol contains the idea that justice is both impartial and blind, reminding indirectly of the bandaged Christ on the cross, a central figure in the Christian idea of fairness and forgiveness. In this rich and imaginative journey through history and philosophy, Prosperi manages to convey a full account of the ways justice has been described, portrayed and imagined. Translation of Giustizia bendata. Percorsi storici di un'immagine (Einaudi, 2008).-- 
520 |a Scale and sword, eyes and blindfold: the attributes of justice -- Justice, that is to say God -- The blindfold -- Jesus, Barabbas and the good thief -- Justice and grace -- Miracles and salvation -- The divine eye of the law -- Changes in symbols -- The veil of justice and the risks of the limelight.
