The aim of this study is to analyze the relationship text-image in diachrony, starting from a biblical piece of ambiguous interpretation and important from the iconic point of view, that is, chapter XII, 1,17 from the Apocalypse. Getting into a medieval text demands having in mind the semantic content of certain words which make up the cultural framework of the time. After a short approach to this question we examine the most important Hispanic, Anglo French and German testimonies. The diferences found in the illustrations observed prove that the production of images was part of a process in continuous rede nition. The substitution of the simultaneous method for the monoscenic one resulted in a change of meaning. The individualized treatment of images dedicated to comment an only event made easy the creation of iconogra c models with a life of their own. In the oldest examples we have described, the image was equivalent to the text, since Modernity the text depends on the image.
