Citation
Description The jeweled Gospel book was a key element in the carefully orchestrated liturgical performance popularized in the sixth century. As my analysis of its use, iconography, and materiality indicates, bishops capitalized on the object’s symbolic potential to instill meaning in the ritual performance and stress the Christic dimension of their office.
