Abstract | The session is devoted to the integration and adaptation of apocryphal sources in the construction of medieval iconographies. It highlights the contribution of Apocrypha in the following contexts: development of hagiographic characters' visual representations in various contexts; their function in local/regional cults, such as that of the Virgin Mary; the process of iconography stratification and iconographic syncretism. The session also highlights the importance hagiographic/apocryphal constructions in the attraction of pilgrims or in the process of emphasizing Roman primacy. |
