medieval-religion: Scholarly discussions of medieval religion and culture
the issue has come up on my little Chartres discussion list of whether or not
there were scriptoria capable of producing whole books (not just charters)
attached to cathedral chapters.
specifically, of course, we were considering the case of Chartres,
particularly in the period before 1200.
England, with its curious, peculiar and kinky institution of monastic
cathedrals, would not be relevant for comparison (it seems to me, but i'm
willing to be corrected if it's absolutely necessary).
does anyone know of documented examples of continental cathedral chapter
scriptoria producing *whole books* (pontificals, ordinals and suchlike service
books in particular) before the 13th c.?
or, even after that time?
many thanks for any thoughts/suggestions/examples.
