Notes
1I would like to thank Dr. Jan Ross for allowing me to use her forthcoming volume of the Centuries, which will be Volume 5 of The Works of Thomas Traherne. All quotes for the Centuries are from her edition.
2Traherne's use of dissection is discussed by Sawday (248–65).
3Greenburg discusses the relationship of such imagery to seventeenth-century property laws.
4Kant, more than any other philosopher, emphasizes the infinite in the sublime; however, see also Burke.
