3 Well aware of my own limitations with regard to the history of architecture — I must, for instance, refrain from commenting on Professor Smith's interesting discussion of ‘Islamic implications’ in his Conclusion, Architectural Symbolism 179ff. — I shall limit myself on the whole to the criticism of the author's method of symbolical interpretation. For the methodology of the history of architectural symbolism cf. Krautheimer, R., ‘Introduction into the Iconography of Mediaeval Architecture,’ Journal of the Courtauld and Warburg Institutes 5 (1942) 1ff.; Bandmann, G., Mittelalterliche Architektur als Bedeutungsträger (Berlin 1951), and the works of Grabar, A. quoted below, note 11.Google Scholar

7 Christian, Early, Byzantine (and to some extent also western medieval) symbolism of heaven was conceived in terms of concave, concentric cosmological spheres or of a city, the new, the heavenly Jerusalem.Google Scholar
8 In other respects Professor Smith's discussion of Roman and medieval coins and seals carrying the image of palace or temple is very instructive, especially with regard to the slow reception of the city gate motif as a representation of Rome on the coins of the Holy Roman Empire (for the only gradual victory of the Roman over the non-Roman empire idea cf. Erdmann, C., Forschungen zur politischen Ideenwelt des Frühmittelalters [Berlin 1951] 1-51); for Charlemagne's temple coin — perhaps, the denarius palatinus — which in its symbolism is eminently Christian rather than eminently Roman, see the study of a former student of mine, Hugh Fallon, ‘Imperial Symbolism on Two Carolingian Coins,’ Museum Notes, The American Numismatic Society 8 (1958) 119ff.Google Scholar

10 Things are different as regards the frequent re-transfer from heaven to earth of city-symbolism in the case of the church building, for instance, in the famous hymn of church dedication Urbs beata Hierusalem …; but even here it has not been conclusively proved that the symbolism of the heavenly Jerusalem has influenced the forms of ecclesiastical architecture itself, either in the case of the early Christian basilica (so Kitschelt, L., Die frühchristliche Basilika als Darstellung des himmlischen Jerusalem [München 1938]; Stange, A., Das frühchristliche Kirchengebäude als Bild des Himmels [Köln 1950]; cf. the sound critical remarks of Bandmann, op. cit. 89f.) or in the case of the Gothic cathedral (so H. Sedlmayr, Die Entstehung der Kathedrale [Zürich 1950] and, more subtly and acceptably, Simson, O. v., The Gothic Cathedral [Bollingen Series 48; New York 1956] especially xxff., 8ff., 227ff.). — For the relationship of the concept of the holy City (heavenly as well as earthly Jerusalem) to medieval city planning cf.

13 In this connection Professor Smith, Architectural Symbolism 106, misinterpreted Gesta Romanorum c. 54 (ed. Oesterley, H., Berlin 1872) 349: there was no intention in this text to refer to deification of the emperor Frederick II or to the celestial character of his Capua Gate; on the contrary the Gesta treat the emperor and his door as mere symbols of the properly divine realm of Christ and the Church.Google Scholar

19 It is an altogether not permissible simplification to say that ‘the Ottonian and Hohenstaufen masters of the Holy Roman Empire were insisting in their struggle with the Papacy that the Church as an adjunct to the State was under the Palatium’ (Smith, op. cit. 37).Google Scholar
20 See the judicious remarks of Bandmann, op. cit. 207ff. and also 106ff. concerning Charlemagne's western addition to his palace chapel at Aachen, which, it is true, is itself a centralized building and by way of San Vitale or similar buildings is linked to the tradition of imperial Byzantine architecture (cf. Fichtenau, H., ‘Byzanz und die Pfalz zu Aachen,’ Mitteilungen des Instituts fur Österreichische Geschichtsforschung 59 [1951] 1ff.). The Westwerk idea was not limited to the Holy Roman Empire; corresponding structural and ceremonial elements are found both in Byzantium and in papal Rome: Maria, S. in Turris at St. Peter's; cf. Grabar, A.'s review of Schramm, Herrschaftszeichen, in Journal des savants 1956, 17f.Google Scholar
21 A word of warning must be added regretfully with regard to the numerous misspellings and incorrect usages of Latin and other foreign words and terms and other errors due to the posthumous appearance of the book: they are only partially remedied by four pages of Errata which were distributed by the publishers. Among remaining substantial (not merely linguistic) errors the following should be mentioned: p. 72 n. 78: for ‘Cranford’ read ‘Cornford’; p. 89 n. 51: for ‘Frederick II’ substitute ‘Frederick I’; p. 93 n. 64: for ‘Louis the Fat’ ‘Charles the Fat’; p. 150: for ‘statue’ ‘image’; p. 157 n. 29: for ‘Emperor Louis II’ ‘Anti-King Conrad’; in the same note delete the statement about Frederick Barbarossa forcing Pope Hadrian IV to be his servant; finally it should be noted that such terms as ‘papal prelates’ (p. 6), ‘imitatio imperialis’ (pp. 6, 74, 103), ‘sancti palatii ritus’ (p. 155), etc., are not infrequently coined and used by the author in an arbitrary manner.Google Scholar

3 On the one hand the author does not really come to grips with the problem of political murder and other forms of ‘liquidation’ in Byzantium; on the other hand it would seem to me at least an insult to compare the hierarchical and liturgical regime of Byzantium with a political ‘liturgy’ celebrated by Rudolf Hess and other Nazi officials in their propagandistic performances, or with similar events in the Soviet sphere; this is not to deny that some of the analogies between the Byzantine theocracy and modern totalitarianism, pointed out by Rubin, are revealing.

27 For the image of Christ over the Chalce gate, for the date of its first destruction by Leo III, and for the iconoclastic and post-iconoclastic inscriptions mentioned in the text, cf. now Mango, The Brazen House 108ff and 170ff. Professor Mango in my opinion has made it almost certain that the iconoclastic inscription dates from the reign of Leo V, not from that of Leo III. It is possible that a Cross was substituted for the image of Christ by both emperors; cf. Mango, op. cit. 119 and 122.Google Scholar
28 This question is connected with the problem of a difference in the concept of the image as understood by iconoclasts and iconodules, respectively, the former allegedly requiring and at the same time denying the possibility of consubstantiality between image and prototype; cf. Grabar, Iconoclasme 140, who follows Ostrogorsky, G.; cf. the latter's Studien zur Geschichte des byzantinischen Bilderstreits (Breslau 1929); I am still sceptical with regard to this theory of two different image concepts; cf. my article ‘Der Bilderstreit und die Kunst-Lehren der byzantinischen und abendländischen Theologie,’ Zeitschrift fur Kirchengeschichte 50 (Folge 3, vol. 1; 1931) 6f. n. 20. In fact, Kitzinger, ‘Cult of Images,’ loc. cit. 100ff., 146f., shows very clearly that the magic propensities of the iconodule masses were founded on an image concept which very definitely presupposes identity between image and prototype; the term ‘animistic,’ used in this connection by Kitzinger, is however somewhat misleading, as the supposed presence of a saint in his image is after all something very different from, let us say, that of a nymph in a tree.Google Scholar

9 Professor Alexander in concentrating on Nicephorus’ and Theodore of Studion's Aristotelian terminology of relation and on Nicephorus’ likewise Aristotelian terminology of causation fails to observe that the antithesis of θέρις and φύρις is at least equally important in the utilization of Aristotelian thought by the Byzantine iconophiles and that here John Damascene was the pioneer; cf.

This book does not reproduce the few ampullae which have survived outside the churches of Giovanni, S. of Monza and Colombano, S. of Bobbio (in which they had been preserved probably since the reign of the Lombard queen Theodolinda [† 625]). Two ampullae are in the United States: at the Dumbarton Oaks Collection in Washington and the Art Institute in Detroit.Google Scholar

11 Dr. Schmidt himself assumes that an older Biblia pauperum was the source of two of the enamel additions to the Verdun altar made in 1330/31 (see above), but does not consider the possibility that it may have been the archetype. Jerchel, H., ‘Die ober- und niederösterreichische Buchmalerei der ersten Hälfte des 14. Jahrhunderts’, Jahrbuch der kunsthistorischen Sammlungen in Wien, Neue Folge, vol. 6 (1932) 34, thinks it probable that the St. Florian Biblia pauperum and that of the Vienna Cod. 1198 have a common archetype, but does not localize it.Google Scholar
12 The fact, discussed by Schmidt, Armenbibeln 13 and 86, that contrary to all other manuscripts the sub-family St. Florian does not show Mary in the scene of the coming of the Holy Spirit at Pentecost and represents her death rather than her coronation, is certainly noteworthy. But it is hardly a suffi cient reason to exclude the possibility that half a century earlier the archetype may have originated in a monastery of Augustinian Canons such as Klosterneuburg, especially as the tempera panels of the Verdun Altar, though they are approximately contemporary with the manuscripts of the St. Florian sub-family, include a picture of the Coronation of the Blessed Virgin, as well as one of her death.Google Scholar

14 Cf. Schmidt, , Armenbibeln 117ff. Dr. Schmidt accepts the possibility that the word pauper, where it occurs in late medieval abbreviations of the Bible or in typological works of that period, refers to the Mendicants and other poor clerics and at the same time to the ‘poor in spirit.’ Weckwerth, A., ‘Die Zweckbestimmung der Armenbibel und die Bedeutung ihres Namens,’ Zeitschrift für Kirchengeschichte, Ser. 4, vol. 68 (1957) 225ff. — a study which Dr. Schmidt could only briefly discuss at the end of his work — links the great revival of typology in the twelfth century to the orthodox reaction against the Cathari and also tries to connect the term Biblia pauperum with this background.Google Scholar
