medieval-religion: Scholarly discussions of medieval religion and culture You will probably find the introduction of Papal Ceremonial in the Twelfth Century (Subsidia IV Henry Bradshaw Society) by Susan Twyman (published this year by the Boydell Press) useful as a guide to sources. But I don't think she mentions organs.

However i have two queries regarding my research that i am hoping that list members may be able to help me with. One is the issue of Organs being used in Rome. All the authorities I have read have said that ecclesiastics until the 10th c did not use the organ. However Bede mentions organs as being in Anglo Saxon England in the late 7th c. and they are mentioned in an ecclesiastical context. If this is true, the most likely source of the instrument would be Rome but I can find no mention of any use of the organ in Rome. Thus I am wondering if any list member has any other information sources of this secular instrument being in the hands of the church before the 10th c. My other query is similar and relates to any other source that i have m! >issed relating to the growing reutilization of the roman church and its Bishop as it grows further away form the Byzantium and asserts its independence. I am already using the ordo Romanus Priimus and the Liber pontificalis amongst others and i am wondering if list members have any suggestions for primary and secondary materials to add my list. I would also be interested in debating and discussing any of my rather tenuous results so far. My thanks in advance to anyone who feels they have something to contribute and I await you replies with eager anticipation. > >Yours >Aaron Simeon Kearney > >********************************************************************** >To join the list, send the message: join medieval-religion YOUR NAME >to: [log in to unmask] >To send a message to the list, address it to: >[log in to unmask] >To leave the list, send the message: leave medieval-religion >to: [log in to unmask] >In order to report problems or to contact the list's owners, write to: >[log in to unmask] >For further information, visit our web site: >http://www.jiscmail.ac.uk/lists/medieval-religion.html > ********************************************************************** To join the list, send the message: join medieval-religion YOUR NAME to: [log in to unmask] To send a message to the list, address it to: [log in to unmask] To leave the list, send the message: leave medieval-religion to: [log in to unmask] In order to report problems or to contact the list's owners, write to: [log in to unmask] For further information, visit our web site: http://www.jiscmail.ac.uk/lists/medieval-religion.html
