Abstract | The session is devoted to the connection between church tradition and the emergence of medieval iconographies of apocryphal origin both in the East and the West. It highlights the influence of apocryphal texts, rooted in Jewish apocalypticism, on visual representations of eschatological themes. Furthermore, it concentrates on the fusion of the apocryphal material with biblical/theological/exegetical narratives placing such productions, both visual and textual, in the context of monastic viewers and their possible responses. It also traces the connection between liturgy and liturgical sources and their influence over Marian representations. |
