The crowd sourced encyclopedia's article on the panel, read directly for this entry. Its strength is a clear account of the excavation and the two Greek inscriptions. Its own text is internally inconsistent on the panel's date, an eighth century figure in one place and a sixth century figure in another; this entry follows the Louvre's own current official catalog instead and states the discrepancy plainly rather than silently picking one of Wikipedia's own two numbers.
Facts
Assessment
Reliability Tier3
Wikipedia's article on the Icon of Christ and Abbot Mena is a crowd sourced tertiary reference, the lower tier confirmed by the article's own internal inconsistency on the panel's date, which this row's entry follows the Louvre's own current catalog to resolve instead. NotesRead directly. Cited for the 1902 excavation of the Monastery of Apollo at Bawit by a team including Jean Cledat, the two Greek inscriptions and their translation, the encaustic medium and the panel's condition (missing pigment, two vertical cracks).
