title: Homilist as Hierophant: Guiding Liturgical Perception via Byzantine Ekphrasis

description: Studies of Byzantine liturgical aesthetics have the benefit of retrospect, having sifted through centuries of texts and later iconographic programs’ explanations. For the Early Byzantine worshipper, however, the understanding needed to engage ritual action and its environment had to be introduced and trained. This dissertation argues that vivid descriptions in festal homilies conditioned worshippers’ perceptions and laid interpretive paradigms over environments and ritual practices, with the goal that worshippers would appropriate these paradigms as their own. To examine the descriptive function in homilies, this study includes three movements. 
In movement one, the theoretical lenses of ekphrastic theory, temple typology, physical and spiritual preception, and image theory are introduced. 
Movement two comprises three case studies which approach questions of perceptual interpretation. The first, on ritual space, comprises kontakia and Paul the Silentiary’s orations in praise of Hagia Sophia, Constantinople. The second, on ritual location, analyzes the conflation of present place with commemorated place in Anastasios of Sinai’s Homily on the Transfiguration. The third, on ritual viewing, examines Andrew of Crete’s Homilies on the Dormition in which he interprets a festal icon, identifying the present celebration with the events depicted. 
The final movement synthesizes the analyses and identifies the purpose of homiletic ekphrasis in concert with other liturgical arts. Homilies used vivid description to guide hearers from sensible symbols to the intelligible reality that lay behind them, and to motivate their hearers to ascend to that higher level of spiritual perception. Because of the parallel theories of rhetoric and image, homiletic descriptions could function identically to iconography. The homily was consequently able to bring the hearer to the subject of verbal depiction in the same manner as the image. For these preachers, therefore, homilies bore the sacramental capacity to form spiritual perception and to facilitate a real encounter with the divine.
