| Abstract | Behind the traditional appearance of biblical manuscript illumination, issues related to contemporary ecclesiastical politics come to the fore when attempting to contextualize and interpret some exceptional productions about which few certain elements are known. The purpose of this session is to initiate dialogue across disciplinary borders by testing this approach to manuscript interpretation with both Latin and Greek examples. Two papers concentrate on issues of reform in the 11th century, while a third deals with how the brief Union of Lyon could be reflected visually in a bilingual Gospel probably commissioned by the Byzantine Emperor for the pope. |
