Fehl, “Veronese and the Inquisition.”

English translations of the transcripts appear in Philipp Fehl, “Veronese and the Inquisition: A Study of the Subject Matter of the So-called ‘Feast in the House of Levi,’” Gazette des beaux-arts 58 (1961), 6th series, pp. 325–354; and Giuseppe Delogu, Veronese: The Supper in the House of Levi (Milan: Art Editions Amilcare Pizzi; New York: Transbook Company, Inc., 1950).

On the medieval debate between the Catholic and Orthodox churches on this matter, see Jaroslav Pelikan, The Christian Tradition: A History of the Development of Doctrine, vol. 2, The Spirit of Eastern Christendom (600–1700) (Chicago: Univ. of Chicago Press, 1971), pp. 177–178. On the archaeological evidence pertaining to this dispute, see George Galavaris, Bread and the Liturgy: The Symbolism of Early Christian and Byzantine Bread Stamps (Madison: Univ. of Wisconsin Press, 1970).

Goehring, ed. (Leuven [Louvain]: Peeters, 1999).
