  • Descrição: The book moves chronologically: three chapters focus on sixth-century Constantinople: Romanos the Melodist, Leontios the Presbyter, and Eucharistic prayers (chs. 2-4); one chapter treats the Great Kanon from around the turn of the eighth century and then ninth-century Kassia; one deals with a selection of (probably) ninth-century canons from the Triodion collection, and the last chapter engages tenth-century catechetical instructions by Symeon the New Theologian. Krueger suggests-and rightly so, I think-that Andrew may have written his canons for a popular rather than a monastic audience. The writers' task was to help the faithful internalize the divine gaze (the one that post-Iconoclastic artists would paint in church domes), and hence to project the whole dynamic of human salvation history into the Byzantine person.
