The Trebizond Lectionary (Cod. gr. 21 and 21a) in Russian National Library, Saint Petersburg and Byzantine Art after the Macedonian Renaissance
Abstract
The article is dedicated to the miniatures of the so called Trebizond Lectionary kept in the National Library of Russia in St. Petersburg. While the dating of the manuscript to the second half of the 10th century is widely accepted, the place of its creation remains uncertain. The author rejects a near lier hypothesis according to which the manuscript was produced in Asia Minor. In the author’s view, the Trebizond Lectionary miniatures, together with some other works of art mostly of Constantinopolitan origin, represent an expressive anti-classical trend, which emerged in the third quarter of the 10thc. as a reaction on the classic is of the Macedonian Renaissance.
