Excerpt from The Art Bulletin, Vol. 4: An Illustrated Quarterly Published by the College Art Association of America; June 1922 The problem I have selected is: where did the type of Christ hearing or holding a Cross originate?1 Is it Eastern or Western.2 Did the notion emanate from one center, or from more than one, being conceived simul taneously in several places? If the latter is true, can we differentiate the variants in the several localities, and so establish criteria for attributing works of art to this or that Early Christian center, such as Asia Minor, Italy, or Egypt?
