Title: The Miniatures in the Medieval Illustrated Psalters as Exegesis of the Text
Authors: Stefka Kancheva

Abstract: The Psalter is the Bible book most used in Orthodox worship. In the Middle Ages, illustrated psalters spread, and miniatures with New Testament subjects appeared on their pages. The paper shows the direct connection between the miniatures with a New Testament character and the worship of the Orthodox Church and confirms the perception of the Psalter in the Church as a book of prophecies.

Keywords: Psalter; Miniatures; Exegesis.
