On the Typology of Liturgical Books from the Western Middle Ages
Zur Typologie liturgischer Bücher des westlichen Mittelalters
edited by Harald Buchinger and Andrew Irving
Liturgical books are not only the most important evidence for understanding patterns of worship in the Middle Ages, they are also highly complex sources, comprising many constituent parts, which often cannot be easily harmonized. Their codification not only served practical purposes, but also had a representational function; it could also serve to preserve and transmit formative knowledge or authorized and authorizing tradition. The interdisciplinary contributions in the present volume explore, among other things, the multilayered nature and complex typology of composite sources, the relationship between literary and liturgical transmission, and the historical and cultural significance of liturgical books from the Western Middle Ages.
