O obrazu
This Leaf from a Lectionary with Saint Matthew, dated 1057–63, is displayed in gallery 105 of the Cleveland Museum of Art, Cleveland. Empress Katherine Komnene presented the book in 1063 to Constantinople’s monastery of the Holy Trinity at Chalke. Before the evangelist lie the implements of a scribe, including pens and inkpots, a pointed stylus, dividers, a knife and a polishing tool. Gospel authors often appear in Christian manuscripts: understood as witnesses to their accounts, their portraits helped authenticate the texts used during worship.
Slovy muzea
This leaf is 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.
