| Summary: | This book is the first modern edition and study of the liturgical writings of Bern, abbot of Reichenau (d. 1048). Dealing with ordinary questions facing medieval religious communities - such as how to find the correct date for Advent Sunday, or how to be sure that a chant is liturgically or doctrinally appropriate - Bern's works provide rare first-hand insights into the practices, problems and perceptions of Christian worship in the early years of the second millennium. Unlike formal liturgical expositions, Bern's writings were devoted to alleviating specific concerns, often written at the request of specific people, but also conceived for the benefit of the Christian community at large. All are assiduously argued and researched, reaching their conclusions with the author's characteristic weave of citation, interpretation and anecdote. With implications not only liturgical, but also intellectual and political, the five works edited here therefore offer rich insights for liturgical scholars, musicologists and medieval historian alike. The extensive introduction to the edition addresses longstanding questions about the shape, extent and internal coherence of Bern's liturgical oeuvre, aided by two recently rediscovered manuscripts. The apparatus and indices also provide the first detailed survey of the author's extensive liturgical, patristic and canonical citations, in addition to accessible explications of his more complicated areas of argument |
