The article argues that texts, images and epigraphs in the Gregorian Reform were “rhetorically” organized.

Furthermore, the inscriptions in eleventh- and early-twelfth-century wall paintings in Rome and Latium guided medieval viewers’ interpretations of the pictorial narrative.File in questo prodotto:
