ABSTRACT: The 12 th century saw the culmination of a massive reform movement within the Church, intended both to reinforce the figures of the Pope and bishops and to standardise the Western European liturgy, based on the one utilized at that time in the papal chapel. To this end, a number of books were published, among which was a new version of the pontifical, accompanied by an iconographic cycle in which the descriptive dimension of the portrayals stands out prominently to support the text in its task of ritual codification. The aim of this study is to analyse the iconographic cycle that depicts the ritual of church dedication and its relationship with the rubrics described in the rites. KEYWORDS: Church Dedications, Iconographic Cycle, Pontifical, Roman Ritual, Gallican Ritual, Liturgy, Moving of Relics, Altar Consecration, Aspersion, Unction.
