Writing and Holiness: The Practice of Authorship in the Early Christian East (details here: http://www.upenn.edu/pennpress/book/14082.html).

Chapter 3 (I believe) of Derek Kreuger's monograph "Writing and Holiness" has a fascinating (and compelling) discussion of the phenomenon of visually depicting the evangelists in the physical act of writing.
