Ὁ χριστιανικὸς συμβολισμὸς τοῦ φυσικοῦ κόσμου στὴν θεολογικὴ γραμματεία τοῦ Βυζαντίου (μὲ ἔμφαση στὴν ὑμνογραφία)
Abstract
The present study concerns the symbolism of the natural world in Βyzantine
religious literature and mainly in hymnography. The symbolism of the
beings of the natural world in an agricultural society, such as Byzantium,
originates from the direct observation of Nature. This leads to a “Christian
symbolism of Nature”: all natural beings are interpreted symbolically and
teachings about human behaviour are drawn from them.
