Uncontroversial as it might seem, the decision to dedicate two Dumbarton Oaks conferences and their associated volumes to the Bible in Byzantium was a bold move. Its aim was to restore the centrality of the sacred books for the study of a culture where Christianity was the dominant religion by presenting them as material evidence, while allowing them to reverberate across disciplinary boundaries in as many directions as needed, including texts, images, ideas, and various types of reception. This aim has been successful thanks to the guidance of expert and well-respected editors, both as an overall project and in the specific incarnation of the book under review. The result is a rich panoply of contributions from many different angles, each opening a window onto a world of research that still offers large scope for originality. I have learnt much from it in terms of the specific texts evoked, significant manuscripts, and recent bibliography that attests to a vibrant field. Appartiene alle Collane Editoriali
The New Testament lay at the center of Byzantine Christian thought and practice. But codices and rolls were neither the sole way--nor most important way--the Byzantines understood the New Testament. Lectionaries apportioned much of its contents over the course of the liturgical calendar; its narratives structured the experience of liturgical time and shaped the nature of Christian preaching, throughout Byzantine history. A successor to The Old Testament in Byzantium (2010), this book asks: What was the New Testament for Byzantine Christians? What of it was known, how, when, where, and by whom? How was this knowledge mediated through text, image, and rite? What was the place of these sacred texts in Byzantine arts, letters, and thought? Authors draw upon the current state of textual scholarship and explore aspects of the New Testament, particularly as it was read, heard, imaged, and imagined in lectionaries, hymns, homilies, saints' lives, and as it was illustrated in miniatures and monuments. Framing theological inquiry, ecclesiastical controversy, and political thought, the contributions here help develop our understanding of the New Testament and its varied reception over the long history of Byzantium.
