| Abstract | This is one of four sessions dedicated to the commemoration of bishops in the Middle Ages. Contributors to this session will examine the material and spiritual culture of episcopal courts, from the creation of an iconography of the episcopacy in fresco programs in 10th- and 11th-century Italy, to the use of relics and hagiography in 11th-century Cambrai, to the formation and use of episcopal libraries in the central Middle Ages. All will contribute to our understanding of the physical, intellectual, and liturgical elaboration of episcopal identity. |
