medieval-religion: Scholarly discussions of medieval religion and culture
The international collaborative project “Opening the Geese Book” is now
available at http://geesebook.asu.edu The site presents the full
facsimile of the two-volume manuscript New York, Morgan, M. 905,
selected chants recorded by the Schola Hungarica, videos with background
information and critical commentary in English and German, codicological
analysis, archival sources, and bibliography.
The project focuses on the lavishly and whimsically illuminated gradual
known as the Geese Book. Produced in Nuremberg between 1503 and 1510,
the book preserves the complete mass liturgy compiled for the parish of
St. Lorenz and used until the Reformation was introduced in the city in
1525. The manuscript is famous for its representations of animals, wild
folk, and a dragon. Saints' days and other festivals can be accessed
easily via a drop-down menu.
Additional commentary is in preparation. Contributions from the
scholarly community are welcome.
