Tracing the Gospel text from script to illustration to recitation,
this study looks at how illuminated manuscripts operated within
ritual and architecture. Focusing on a group of richly illuminated
lectionaries from the late eleventh century, the book articulates
how the process of textual recitation produced marginalia and
miniatures that reflected and subverted the manner in which the
Gospel was read and simultaneously imagined by readers and
listeners alike. This unique approach to manuscript illumination
points to images that slowly unfolded in the mind of its listeners
as they imagined the text being recited, as meaning carefully
changed and built as the text proceeded. By examining this process
within specific acoustic architectural spaces and the sonic
conditions of medieval chant, the volume brings together the
concerns of sound studies, liturgical studies, and art history to
demonstrate how images, texts, and recitations played with the
environment of the Middle Byzantine church.
