Abstract (en)

Discusses Byzantine icons of Christ and the saints, and the attitudes of their creators with regard to the icons' "authenticity." Organized in five sections: painting after the model's likeness; identifying by word and image; consensus--an example of the image of Christ; the hagiographic topos of recognition; and images of dreams and visions.
