      abstract = {This book examines ideas of spiritual nourishment as  maintained chiefly by Patristic theologians—those who lived  in Byzantium. It shows how a particular type of Byzantine  frescoes and icons illustrated the views of Patristic  thinkers on the connections between the heavenly and the  earthly worlds. The author explores the occurrence, and  geographical distribution, of this new type of iconography  that manifested itself in representations concerned with  the human body, and argues that these were a reaction to  docetist ideas. The volume also investigates the diffusion  of saints' cults and demonstrates that this took place on a  North-South axis as their veneration began in Byzantium and  gradually reached the northern part of Europe, and  eventually the entirety of Christendom.--},
