Research output: Contribution to journalArticlepeer-review

Abstract

An analysis of the Homily on the Epiphany in the Catechesis cracouiensis in the Cracow, Cathedral Library MS 140 (olim 43), this paper searches for both patristic and Hiberno-Latin sources of exegetical themes within it. A study of the text is followed by an analysis of the Magi scenes on Irish high crosses to establish the usefulness of iconography in uncovering the provenance of a written text.
