| Summary: | Article is devoted to eulogiai and seals of the Monastery of Symeon Stylites the Younger, one of the most known centers of pilgrimage in Byzantium. If numerous eulogiai with the image of this Saint are well studied, the seals of this monastery and of its higoumenoi (about 10 specimens) dated to the 11th – early 12th c., are known much less. The iconography of these seals is more la-conic, than of eulogiai: it is limited by the figure of Saint Symeon himself on a colomn. The special group includes the objects with an inscription of “Eulogia of Saint Symeon” of the late 10th – 11th c. Possibly they intended for sealing con-tainers in which the miraculous earth gathered near the column footing of Saint Symeon was placed. |
