Abstract This essay revisits the Soissons Gospels' famous first painting to argue that the perspective-at once spatial and soteriological-the image offers its beholder is part of a larger attempt, deliberately pursued in opulent visible and material forms, to enact the proper ordinatio of worldly and religious values. Orienting the beholder in relation to the manuscript as a whole, the painting pictorially and imaginatively situates them within the portico of a Carolingian templum that is also a thesaurus: a sacred structure, purpose-built for the production and preservation of soteriological value. The soteriological charge of the manuscript's overt material and aesthetic richness is, I suggest, pointedly thematized in the painted pages that open Matthew's Gospel.
