Abstract | Miriam Czock in her work has looked at liturgy from different perspectives. Liturgical commentaries were produced in vast quantities and they were very widely read throughout the Middle Ages, yet modern scholars have tended to dismiss them as derivative texts, undeserving of critical attention. This session seeks to rethink the historical value of liturgical commentaries, not only by exploring their distinctive modes of representing time and history but also by asking how they can illuminate the social and intellectual worlds of those who wrote and read them. |
