Religious poetry is one of the great representatives of Byzantine literature. Within the poetic sphere is the genre of hymnography, whose greatest exponent is a type of hymn known as kontakion. Since its discovery in the 19th century, brief studies of certain aspects of the kontakion have appeared, but they have all been published in a scattered manner, and the scholarly interest has generally focused on the hymnographers rather than on the hymnic genre itself. The purpose of this article is to provide an update of the existing bibliographical material and to offer a diachronic overview of the history of hymnography. This study is original in its synoptic character, bringing together the various aspects of the hymn, from its origins to its apogee, which have often been studied separately.
