After having introduced major paleographical studies concerning the production date of the Gospel Book of St. Medard of Soissons, this paper examines the implications of the new date art historically. A close observation of the miniature of the Adoration of the Lamb in the Soissons Gospels, which is a unique iconography among the Ada Group, is made, together with a detailed examination of the relations among this iconography, the text of the Book of Revelation and that of the preface to the four Gospels written by St. Jerome that serves as a frontispiece for the Soissons Gospels. The relations with preceding and contemporary works of art are discussed. The works considered are Carolingian manuscript illustrations and mosaic decorations of churches in Rome, such as the Old Saint Peter's and SS. Cosma e Damiano. The style of the miniature is analyzed in detail. Special attention is paid to an unique three-dimensional rendering in the top portion of the miniature to suggest that the part be intended to show the appearance of an apsidal arch in a church interior. Inquiries into several possible sources for each part of the relevant miniature reveal the fundamental attitude of the Carolingian Court School for the revival of the ancient and early medieval Roman traditions.
