This article focuses on the five articles concerning Byzantine illumination published on the journal Seminarium Kondakovianum during the 1920s and 1930s, examining both the different methodological approaches and the interesting choices of the manuscripts presented. Malickij, Kosteckaja and Grabar followed strictly the "iconographic methodology" recommended by their master, Nikodim P. Kondakov, This methodological hegemony was partially interrupted by Kurt Weitzmann, who in 1937 article focused more on formal aspects than iconography of the miniatures depicted in Tetraevangelion of Skevophylakion.
