Summary
| Description |
English: Vatican Library, Ms. Syr. 559 Last folio (rulers) "A similar assimilation to local fashion may be presumed for the representation in the Vatican lectionary, in which the genuine Byzantine imperial dress worn by Constantine and Helena has been somewhat transformed in its appearance to meet the dress code of local rulers. Although the image has retained the traditional imperial Byzantine loros-costume, the usual headdress of the imperial couple has been replaced by a type of crown reminiscent of that worn by rulers in the Great Seljuk successor states and encountered in contemporary Islamic art."
