The image of the bishop that the author propose to evoke here closely concerns the definition of the imago in the Middle Ages, which Jean-Claude Schmitt has explored in recent years. The concept, as developed by Schmitt, rests upon the assertion that the medieval image not only illustrated a material reality, but also - and above all - functioned as a visual expression of ideas and mentalities.
