  • Descrição: Iconoclasm and its origins is a contested topic in geographically and chronologically diverse areas and periods. Historians, in particular, have been grappling with the origin of the Iconoclastic Movement in medieval Europe. Different scholars have attempted to understand the phenomenon and its origins in localised, specific ways, with limited results. This paper attempts a more holistic treatment and understanding of iconoclasm by looking at its first identifiable archaeological origin across Judaism and Christianity (which form a continuous religious tradition). The paper begins with a review of the literature for both iconoclasm in Byzantine Palestina and the Iconoclastic Movement. It then examines iconoclastic acts in the mosaic floors of Jewish synagogues and Christian churches in Byzantine Palestina, as well as iconoclastic corrections and iconoclastically motivated floors in detail. The paper goes on to assess the frequency of iconoclastic acts in churches and synagogues, and looks at spatial, chronological and reuse patterns to understand the motivation behind iconoclastic behaviour. It then shows that the strong evidence for iconoclasm in Palestina, the cradle of Christianity, indicates a continuous Jewish-Christian iconoclastic tradition, culminating in the Iconoclastic Movement.
