This book examines ideas of spiritual nourishment as maintained
chiefly by Patristic theologians -those who lived in Byzantium. It
shows how a particular type of Byzantine frescoes and icons
illustrated the views of Patristic thinkers on the connections
between the heavenly and the earthly worlds. The author explores
the occurrence, and geographical distribution, of this new type of
iconography that manifested itself in representations concerned
with the human body, and argues that these were a reaction to
docetist ideas. The volume also investigates the diffusion of
saints' cults and demonstrates that this took place on a
North-South axis as their veneration began in Byzantium and
gradually reached the northern part of Europe, and eventually the
entirety of Christendom.
