Abstract | For the Carolingians, the proper performance of the liturgy was believed to be critical to the prosperity of the kingdom. The court took various steps to insure the correct performance of the liturgy, including importing liturgical books from outside the Frankish kingdoms to commissioning the creation of new books. While much discussion has occurred concerning the goal of this liturgical programme and the extent to which this goal was achieved, this session shall consider various aspects of the implementation of liturgical change and the practical issues such change raises. |
