German manuscript containing texts and chants for the Office of the Dead (Officium pro defunctis), the funeral service for a priest, and the Divine Office. The lessons and responses in the Office of the Dead seem to be related to those used in a small group of manuscripts from the Diocese of Cologne, and the arrangement of the psalms for the Divine Office in the ferial psalter suggest that this manuscript was made for use by secular priests, such as members of a cathedral chapter, or Premonstratensian or Augustinian Canons (Les Enluminures). The volume concludes with the text for the …

Outlaws And Traitors: Justifying Rebellion In The Old French Epic Of Revolt, Klayton Tietjen
Doctoral Dissertations
The plot of many chansons de geste hinges on acts that would have been considered treasonable by medieval legal custom. Yet despite conspicuously treasonous behavior, rebel characters remain the heroes of the tales. Coming to an understanding of the esoteric way that medieval poets and their audiences would have perceived the difference between rebel characters and traitor characters is the pursuit of this study. Through an investigation of the narrative logic and poetic details of epic poems like Girart de Vienne and other chansons de geste, the divergence between treachery and rebellion can be shown to reside in narrative …

In the medieval era of religious and political tumult that culminated with the Crusades, (mostly) Roman Catholic Western European citizens from all walks of life committed themselves to conquer Jerusalem and wrest control of historically Christian lands from the Muslim polities that claimed the region. The historical Kingdom of France was a major contributor to the Crusades, and as such, the feudal realms established in the Levant in the wake of the First Crusade were dominated by former French crusaders and citizenry. The geographic boundaries and demography of these Crusader States are reminiscent of French hegemony in the Middle East …
