medieval-religion: Scholarly discussions of medieval religion and culture
Hi Frans
In my view you'd have to include John Harper's "The Forms and Orders of Western Liturgy from the Tenth to the Eighteenth Century". This skates lightly over a complex topic but provides references for more in-depth reading.
David Hiley's "Western Plainchant" looks at differences in liturgical music between one Use and another, though doesn't approach the impossible task (?) of being comprehensive.
Archibald Archdale King's various books about medieval/post-medieval liturgy are very much overviews. They lack specific detail but lure the nascent researcher in....
Terence Baileys' "The Processions of Sarum and the Western Church" looks usefully at a medieval liturgical service generally neglected as beneath people's notice, but the processional routes for specific churches do indicate a general bias towards certain saints' devotion in certain places.
The late Andrew Hughes attempted the impossible with his "Medieval Manuscripts for Mass and Office" as each use was very much a law unto itself. Nonetheless a very good overview of liturgical books, how they work, and how they work together to form a liturgical cycle.
Interms of liturgical music we also have Hughes' "Medieval Music: The Sixth Liberal Art", again an incredibly ambitious project.
Cheers
Rob Durk

I have been asked to write a brief introduction to medieval liturgy, for the Calvin Institute for Christian Worship. Their aim is to provide a research guide for upper-level undergraduates, seminary students, pastors, and generally interested persons in the field of contemporary liturgy and worship. The question asked to me was: “how does your specific discipline inform congregational worship practices (and this was defined as to include public worship assemblies, preaching, prayer, baptism, Lord's Supper, music, art, architecture, language, cultural dynamics (including sense of time, power, relationality, and more), piety, and much more.)” So, that’s quite broad, and I have defined my field as medieval religion, including biblical interpretation and liturgy. I am currently working on the last part: 1. A list of significant publications (books, articles, on-line sources) in the past 15 years that either studied an aspect of worship perceptively or that could be used as powerful lens through which to view worship. 2. A list of classic resources in your field which either did or could be used to study and reflect on worship 3. an overview of prospects for future work … an exploration of your ideas about what could be done in the future, probably consisting of an annotated list of potential topics. Of course I have my own draft list here, and I am sharing it with you below. MY QUESTION TO YOU ALL: Could you all chime in with at least ONE contribution to each of these three fields? I would be very grateful, and will, of course acknowledge the winning picks in the final publication. Frans van Liere Calvin College Here is my draft own list: 1.

I am still thinking about this one. I’m very curious to see what you all think is the most desirable topic to be researched in the future! Mind you, I hope lots of seminary and graduate students will see this site.

Subject: [M-R] Isaiah, and Sibyl medieval-religion: Scholarly discussions of medieval religion and culture Dear colleagues, I'm hoping someone can help me understand the following stanza (from a hymn about the crown of thorns). Corona sponsum induit ysaie preconium quem regnaturum innuit sibille vaticinium. That is, I am trying to connect the dots between the Crown of Thorns, the sibyl, and Isaiah. Any thoughts? cecilia ********************************************************************** To join the list, send the message: subscribe 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: unsubscribe 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/medieval-religion **********************************************************************To join the list, send the message: subscribe medieval-religion YOUR NAMEto: [log in to unmask] send a message to the list, address it to:[log in to unmask] leave the list, send the message: unsubscribe medieval-religionto: [log in to unmask] order to report problems or to contact the list's owners, write to:[log in to unmask] further information, visit our web site:http://www.jiscmail.ac.uk/medieval-religion
