Abstract | This session offers new research into the intended audience of medieval manuscripts. Paper -a examines the additions to Dominican choir books that provides new insight into Dominican orders and the broader manuscript culture of the Middle Ages. Paper -b offers a new reading of the Vernon Manuscript collection that examines social and gender identity. Paper -c demonstrates that palaeographic and artistic changes to Hrabanus Maurus's In honorem sanctae crucis over time and in different regions subtly alter the meaning of his work without changing the core text. |
