6. For an identification and discussion of this subject, see Paulina Ratkowska, "Sokrates i Platon: Uwagi o ikonografii tematu Magister cum discipulo w sztuce XII-XIII w," Biuletyn Historii Sztuki 36/2 (1974): 103-21. A French summary appears on pp. 120-21. Reference to the inversion of this theme (Plato dictating to Socrates) inspired the work by Jacques Derrida, The Postcard: From Socrates to Freud and Beyond , trans. and intro. Alan Bass (Chicago and London: University of Chicago Press, 1987). The postcard reproduction of the miniature that led Derrida to write the book is the drawing by Matthew Paris in a collection of prognosticating tracts (Oxford, Bodleian Library, MS Ashmole 304, fol. 31v). The drawing is dated to 1250-55 by Suzanne Lewis, The Art of Matthew Paris in the Chronica Majora , continue
