Leccionario bizantino Jaharis
Constantinopla
On view at The Met Fifth Avenue in Gallery 303
Los cuatro retratos de los Evangelistas en este manuscrito, representados con delicado detallismo y enmarcados por bordes decorativos reminiscentes del esmalte cloisonné, marcan el apogeo del arte bizantino a finales del siglo XI y principios del siglo XII. El Evangelista de cabello blanco es Mateo, sentado delante de la muralla de una ciudad bajo su nombre inscrito en griego. Se sabe que este manuscrito, muestra del interés bizantino por el arte del libro, fue realizado para Hagia Sofía, la iglesia patriarcal del Imperio Bizantino. Colofones (inscripciones en el texto) indican que a principios del siglo XVIII todavía estaba en Constantinopla y era propiedad de Chrysanthos Notaras, patriarca de Jerusalén y uno de los primeros y más importantes miembros de la denominada Ilustración griega.
