Heterotopian Texts

T he art of the Cubicula of the Sacraments does more than speak for itself. It also points beyond itself to the texts it represents and references, bringing into the rooms the literary worlds created by Christians and Jews and inhabited by the community that made the Callistus Catacomb. In this way, the images found in the Cubicula transcend the particular vignettes that they depict, and link to entire, substantial literary spaces, which are themselves a kind of space, with their own self-definitions and construals of the world.
