| Abstract | The medieval Irish church reached far into continental Europe through its extensive missionary diaspora. Its legacy is still apparent in the large corpus of liturgical manuscripts which still survive from Irish foundations and those which came under their influence. They include materials for the veneration of over forty Irish saints in the forms of Mass and Office, as well as individual chants, liturgical prayers, and readings based on their vitae. Through an examination of some of these materials in the context of local and international chant culture, and in relation to known hagiographic traditions, the contributors to this session will discuss aspects of the sources, the liturgical repertory, and patterns of transmission. |
