The Dramatic Tradition Of The Middle Ages, Clifford Davidson
The Dramatic Tradition Of The Middle Ages, Clifford Davidson
Clifford Davidson
The twenty-five essays in this collection provide unusual insights into early European drama. Written by American, European, and Japanese scholars, the contributions focus on such subjects as recent discoveries of medieval music-dramas and the conditions of their composition and performance pictorial elements in English and Continental vemacular drama, the later history of medieval drama, and secular plays and playing. The articles first appeared in The Early Drama, Art, and Music Review, which was the official journal of the EDAM project at the Medieval institute Western Michigan University and are included here for their unique contribution to drama studies. Altogether, the …

Cultures Of Devotion, Kathleen Ashley
Cultures Of Devotion, Kathleen Ashley
Kathleen M. Ashley
"The Oxford Handbook of Women and Gender in Medieval Europe provides a comprehensive overview of the gender rules encountered in Europe in the period between approximately 500 and 1500 C.E. The essays collected in this volume speak to interpretative challenges common to all fields of women's and gender history--that is, how best to uncover the experiences of ordinary people from archives formed mainly by and about elite males, and how to combine social histories of lived experiences with cultural histories of gendered discourses and identities....
Corpus Christi Plays At York: A Context For Religious Drama, Clifford Davidson
Corpus Christi Plays At York: A Context For Religious Drama, Clifford Davidson
Clifford Davidson
For roughly two centuries, the streets of the city of York were home to the annual performance of a cycle of mystery plays held in conjunction with the festival of Corpus Christi. Remarkable as the resilience of such an event is, no scholar has yet to survey fully the plays' urban setting, especially with a view to understanding how and why they might have continued to appeal to citizens and spectators. One theory has been that the City of York made the guilds perform the plays. Yet, as Davidson argues, this is not a satisfactory solution, despite the admittedly coercive …

Das Sakramentar Von Beauvais: Vollständige Faksimile-Ausgabe Der Handschrift Ms. Ludwig V 1 Aus Dem J. Paul Getty Museum, Los Angeles, Elizabeth Teviotdale
Elizabeth C Teviotdale
A facsimile of a ten-leaf fragment of an illuminated sacramentary. The commentary includes a close examination of the object itself (physical properties, text, writing, and painting), considers the fragment's place in the oeuvre of the main scribe, and evaluates the artistic comparanda. A new understanding—anticipated in the work of Guy Lanoë—of the probable circumstances of the manuscript's creation is offered: that the sacramentary was made almost certainly at the behest of Roger, bishop of Beauvais from 998 to 1016, for his cathedral church of Saint Peter.

The Beauvais Sacramentary In The Getty Museum As A "Coronation Sacramentary", Elizabeth Teviotdale
Elizabeth C Teviotdale
Reexamines the evidence--paleographical, art historical, and circumstantial--that Carl Nordenfalk (1907-92) adduced for his hypothesis that Los Angeles, J. Paul Getty Museum, MS Ludwig V 1 (the ten surviving leaves of a sacramentary written and illuminated around the year 1000) was created for the occasion of the consecration in 1017 of Robert the Pious’s ten-year-old son Hugh as his co-ruler. In putting forward this hypothesis, Nordenfalk was building on a suggestion he made first in 1950 that the manuscript was written and illuminated at the behest of Robert the Pious by a Lombard artist named Nivardus, who was working at the …

Pembroke College 302: Abbreviated Gospel Book Or Gospel Lectionary?, Elizabeth Teviotdale
Pembroke College 302: Abbreviated Gospel Book Or Gospel Lectionary?, Elizabeth Teviotdale
Elizabeth C Teviotdale
A consideration of the character of the text of Cambridge, Pembroke College, MS 302, a series of excerpts from the four canonical Gospels in (with one exception) biblical order preceded by an incomplete set of canon tables, a manuscript produced in England in the mid-11th century. Concludes that it was probably created as a private devotional book for a high-ranking Benedictine monk, a prayer book intended to resemble a Gospel book and to present a full account of the life of Christ.

Being A Pilgrim: Art And Ritual On The Medieval Routes To Santiago, Kathleen Ashley, Marilyn Deegan
Being A Pilgrim: Art And Ritual On The Medieval Routes To Santiago, Kathleen Ashley, Marilyn Deegan
Kathleen M. Ashley
The Way of St James has been a pilgrimage event for over 1000 years as people have flocked to the site of the burial of the apostle St James the Great. Legend states that the body of James was carried by boat from Jerusalem to Santiago de Compostela in Spain, where a church was erected on the site of the tomb. There is no single route for the pilgrims to follow, but there are several key paths. Kathleen Ashley and Marilyn Deegan capture the experience of the medieval pilgrim through an examination of art, historical and social contexts as well …

Was The Bayeux Tapestry Made In France? The Case For St. Florent Of Saumur, George Beech
Was The Bayeux Tapestry Made In France? The Case For St. Florent Of Saumur, George Beech
George T. Beech
This book presents the hypothesis that the Bayeux tapestry, long believed to have been made in England, came from the Loire valley in France, from the abbey of St. Florent of Saumur. This is based on a number of different kinds of evidence, the most important of which is signs of a St. Florent/Breton influence in the portrayal of the Breton campaign in the tapestry, about a tenth of the whole.

Illustrating The Music Of The Mass: A Case Study, Elizabeth Teviotdale
Illustrating The Music Of The Mass: A Case Study, Elizabeth Teviotdale
Elizabeth C Teviotdale
A study of the figural decoration of a late 11th-century gradual from Toulouse (London, BL, MS Harley 4951, fols. 121-301), concluding that the psalmodic origin of the texts of many chants of the mass informed the way in which those of the 11th century conceived the chants.
