| Tartalmi kivonat: | This paper analyses the different forms of the cult of images in medieval manuscripts. Three levels of this kind of usage seem to be relevant: 1) the public sphere (esp. liturgical usage), 2) the private sphere (connected to meditative representations), and 3) the "negative cult", the destruction of images or parts of them by the users of the manuscripts. The liturgical usage is manifest in the case of the Exultet Rolls, the famous Italian scrolls, which contains the illustration in a way the people was able to follow the text of the liturgy with the help of them. The usual crucifixion and Vir dolorum on the Те igitur page of medieval missals was kissed by the priest according to the medieval custom. As an osculatorium, the Holy Face of Christ was also used, as some manuscript show signs of such a usage (e.g. Missal of Wilhelm von Reichenau, 1466). The private cult of images was inspired by such prayers as the Salve sancta facies, which was accompanied with a Holy Face in Netherlandish Books of Hours; those, who looked at the image while praying, could obtain indulgence. Other types of manuscripts, as hagiographic collections, prayer books, contemplative literature, typological manuscripts also contain frequently meditative images (Andachtsbild). Typical example is the Imago pietatis, to be found in books of private devotion, mainly used by laymen and nuns. A prayer book written in the vernacular for Hungarian nuns (Codex Peer, early 16th century) also contains such images. According to Jeffrey Hamburger's research, a rich collection of devotional images can be found in late medieval manuscripts used and partially produced by nuns. He also analysed the related mystical experiences of some of the saints. Such practices resulted the worn surface of some of the miniatures. On the other hand, destruction of images was sometimes consequence of intentional act. Especially the devil, pagan gods, demons, and torturers of Christ and the saints were often destroyed (good examples are given from the Budapest Biblia pauperum and the Vita et Passió Christi from the same manuscript). Secular codices may also show similar features (see the enemies of the Hungarians in the Illuminated Chronicle). However, there are some cases, when representations of positive figures are also damaged, which needs further explanation. |
