| Inscriptions
The great many mosaic scenes in the atrium and interior are accompanied by inscriptions that enrich and broaden the spiritual meaning of the mosaics themselves. All the scenes feature a literary text in Latin, mostly drawn from the books of the Old and New Testaments. There are mediaeval prayers or invocations. The individual figures of the saints are also accompanied by their names. Over and above the Latin inscriptions there are a few in Greek. These are associated with the numerous images of Jesus and the Virgin, always accompanied by their monograms.
