O obrazu
Leaf from a Lectionary with St Luke, made by an unidentified illuminator in 1057–1063, is in the Cleveland Museum of Art, Cleveland. Its parent volume supplied Gospel readings for services and was given by Empress Katherine Komnene to Constantinople's Holy Trinity Monastery at Chalke in 1063. Writing equipment laid before the evangelists includes pens, inkpots, a stylus, dividers, a knife and a polishing tool. Gospel books frequently included author portraits because the evangelists were understood as eyewitnesses whose presence confirmed the authority of their texts. On view in room 105.
Slovy muzea
These leaves are from a lectionary (a book of gospel readings used in church services) that was presented to the Holy Trinity Monastery at Chalke in Constantinople by the Empress Katherine Komnene in 1063. The tools of the scribe’s trade are laid out before the evangelists: a stylus (a pointed tool for writing, drawing, and engraving), a pair of dividers (a device resembling a compass, used for dividing lines and transferring measurements), pens, a knife, a burnisher (polishing tool), and inkpots. Portraits of the authors of the Gospels—Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John—appear frequently in gospel books throughout the Christian world. Understood to be eyewitnesses to the texts they wrote, their presence in these books served to “authenticate” the gospels.
