Abstract
El artículo presenta algunos apuntes sobre la incorporación de las vestiduras litúrgicas a las representaciones iconográficas del culto cristiano en la Antigüedad Tardía y la Alta Edad Media. Para ello se señalan los principales problemas historiográficos y las fuentes más relevantes para reconstruir los orígenes de las prendas litúrgicas del rito romano. A continuación, se propone un recorrido por algunos ejemplos figurativos que permiten trazar la primera historia visual de los ornamentos sagrados, prestando especial atención a tres focos. En primer lugar, la presencia de las vestiduras litúrgicas en los programas pictóricos murarios y musivarios de los primeros siglos. En segundo lugar, la representación de los clérigos y sus ornamentos en pequeñas piezas altomedievales de marfil. Finalmente, la codificación del atuendo sagrado en el desarrollo de la incipiente iluminación litúrgica de los siglos IX y X.
The article explains some notes on the emergence of liturgical vestments into the iconographic representations of the Christian liturgy in Late Antiquity and Early Middle Ages. To that end, main historiographic problems and written sources which reconstruct the origins of the liturgical vestments of the Roman Rite are explained. Later on, a tour of some figurative examples, tracing the early visual history of sacred vestments, is proposed. These offer special attention to three themes: In the first place, the presence of liturgical vestments in the mural programs and mosaics of the first centuries. Secondly, the representation of the clergy and their vestments in small pieces of early medieval ivory. Finally, the codification of the liturgical dressing in the development of the incipient manuscripts’ illumination of the 9th and 10th centuries.
