Physiologer

The Physiologer is cited as one of the archetypal figures represented in carvings and ornamentation within a math’s cloistered spaces. It is listed alongside other “general types,” such as the Deolater, the Burger, and the Sline, which appear among geometric patterns and depictions of notable people.

• Treated as an archetype or stock figure rather than a specific individual.
• Part of the decorative and didactic tradition found in cloistered walkways and adjoining buildings within a math.
