Summary
The Kokkinobaphos Homilies that are the focus of this chapter are a set of six sermons, or homilies, on the Mother of God which were written in Greek in Constantinople in the middle years of the twelfth century. Whilst they are in many ways idiosyncratic, they are nonetheless a significant element in the reception of Marian material at this time.
