Abstract | This panel will investigate interactions between text, ritual, liturgy, and the body in the practice of pilgrimage. John Romano will look at the principles articulated in Augustine's letters number 54 and 55 regarding liturgical diversity, and observe what bearing these principles had on medieval pilgrims' responses to witnessing unfamiliar worship during their travels. Lotem Pinchover's paper will explore the interaction between texts of virtual pilgrimages with art objects in the monastic space of three convents in medieval Germany, together with para-liturgical practices that combine the body and mind of the medieval nun. |
