| Abstract | During the Middle Ages the Lord's Prayer was part of basic religious knowledge. Therefore, it was a constant point of reference for Christian education and instruction. Countless explanations and interpretations of the Lord's Prayer were composed, be they written by the 'great' theologians of the time or published anonymously, be they in Latin or in the vernacular, be they originals or compilations of traditional material. This session will present for discussion the work of an interdisciplinary research group which investigates explanations of the Lord's Prayer extant in the library of the abbey of St Gall from different scholarly angles, 9th-16th century. |
