The Haemorrhoissa motif had an        important place in early Christianity, and from its earliest        manifestation as synoptic narrative it developed into a multifarious        motif embedded in a variety of contexts. One of its most remarkable        developments was its transformation into the Veronica motif, the roots        of which thus lie in early Christianity. This historical-anthropological        investigation of the early Christian Haemorrhoissa motif hence is driven        by two primary research questions. The first: why was the early        Christian Haemorrhoissa motif so richly represented and did it develop        so multifariously? The second: what did the early Christian        constellation of the Haemorrhoissa motif contribute to the genesis of        the vera icon and its constitution as image paradigm and,        intrinsically linked to this, as anthropological paradigm?","brand":"Peeters Publishers","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49546302914903,"sku":"9789042931428","price":91.2,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/from-flow-to-face-the-haemorrhoissa-motif-mark-5-24b-34parr-between-anthropological-origin-and-image-paradigm-9789042931428","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
