Sivertsev // Judaica Ukrainica : Annual Journal of Jewish Studies. - 2015. - Vol. 4. - P. 18-35.2305-40342305-5278https://ekmair.ukma.edu.ua/handle/123456789/15209The motif of Jacob’s face engraved on the Throne of Glory has been an object of continued scholarly attention for the past several decades and has been studied in a variety of literary contexts, from Second Temple and early Christian to medieval. More recently, two excellent contributions by Rachel Neis and Ra’anan Boustan have done a lot to situate this motif specifically within its eastern Roman context by mapping out the motif’s place within the broader Byzantine discourse on images and relics. In this article, I expand on Neis’s and Boustan’s work by analyzing the place of Jacob’s image within the semiotics of late Roman and early Byzantine liturgical performance.enLate AntiquityJacobimageThrone of GodLiturgical SpaceconstructionThrone of GlorysemioticshistoryLiturgyRoman performanceByzantine performancearticleArticle
