Abstract	In this second session on transformations of perceptions of the past, Donatella Tronca focuses on Verona’s canon law texts and how they reflect a particular and influential historical understanding of the Christian past. Fabio Coden considers the degree to which the material evidence reflects similar kinds of selection and crossing of borders in building structures, ground plans, and decoration to those that can be observed in the texts. Arthur Westwell explores how liturgical texts attribute a new significance to the urban fabric of Verona, particularly by analogy to Rome, and thus an intensification of historical significance in liturgical performance.
