Abstract | The aim of the session is to challenge simplistic readings of the patterns of borrowing and interaction that can be detected in the histories of major, high-status, saints' cults in the Middle Ages. The topic is explored using French, Lotharingian, and English examples and from a variety of disciplinary perspectives - using, that is, close reading of liturgical as well as hagiographical texts, historical analysis, and musicology. |
