Word and Image – Diskos in Printed Liturgiarions in the First Half of the 17th Century (Kyiv Metropolitanate)

Abstracts

Graphics appeared in liturgical books in the Kyiv Metropolitanate in the 17th Century. Some of them were aids for celebrants, as they complemented the textual commentary in the liturgical rubrics and fulfilled a practical role. In the article, we analyze the representations of communion paten/discos (sometimes with additional textual instructions) that were found in liturgiarions in the first half of the mentioned above century. An analysis of these sources shows that the celebrant may have had many problems in liturgical practice due to: – ritual variety; – different systems of understanding the right and left sides in the description of the correct arrangement of the bread on the discos in liturgical rubrics; – a different perspective adopted in the graphic diagram and in the text description in the rubrics (the perspective of the priest looking at the paten or vice versa); – mismatch between the „word“ in the rubrics and the „image“ (sometimes with additional text instruction on the understanding of the right and left sides). Thus, the rubrics commentary itself did not guarantee the correct understanding of the directions and, in consequence the correct arrangement of the particles. Precise indication of them was possible with the help of a graphical diagram intended to be recreated in reality, and the accompanying instruction which confirmed that the figure should be treated as a model.
