Lecionário bizantino Jaharis

Constantinopla

On view at The Met Fifth Avenue in Gallery 303

Os quatro retratos de evangelistas neste manuscrito, representados com delicado detalhe e emoldurados com bordas decorativas reminiscentes do esmalte cloisonné, marcam o apogeu da arte bizantina do final do século XI e início do século XII. Este evangelista de cabelo branco é Mateus, sentado diante da muralha de uma cidade sob seu nome inscrito em grego. Sabe-se que este manuscrito, uma mostra do interesse bizantino pela arte de livro, foi feito para a Hagia Sofia, a igreja patriarcal do Império Bizantino. Colofones (inscrições no texto) indicam que, no início do século XVIII, ainda se encontrava em Constantinopla e era propriedade de Chrysanthos Notaras, patriarca de Jerusalém e um dos primeiros e mais importantes membros do chamado Iluminismo Grego.
