Silence: Reflection, Literacy, Learning, and Teaching

Pat Belanoff

Abstract

The Word. In the beginning was the word, in principio erat verbum , in the words of the Vulgate version of the gospel according to John. In medieval manuscripts of this gospel, verbum and the words surrounding it are usually prominent in some way (large, ornately decorated); the text enacts itself and the words became an icon for their own meaning. The prophet John continued by equating his God with the Word and attributing the making of all things to this God/Word.
