Sinai gr. 204 is a well-known Byzantine manuscript datable to c. 1000 C.E. Among its miniatures, two stand out as unusual-the portrait of the Virgin with a scroll, and the unidentified hermit Peter. The Virgin seems to be copied from an image of the Hodegetria, with the infant Christ replaced by a scroll held in her awkwardly rendered left hand. The artist may have felt this invention necessary due to a portrait of Christ on the preceding folio. The portrait of the monastic Peter is differentiated from the others by the flat, almost monochromatic rendering; perhaps the style was inspired by portraits of deceased saints in menologia to underscore his status as a local, modern ascetic as opposed to the evangelists, Christ and the Virgin.
