Description
Summary:While the Mozarabic Rite has been the subject of numerous and important studies, the riches of its hymnody have never been adequately displayed. Abounding in interest for the inquirer in the field of early medieval religious poetry, it is equally rewarding to the historian who would be acquainted to some extent with ways of thinking familiar to Visigothic and Moslem Spain. The English scholar, Frederic Raby, was aware of this when he wrote of Mozarabic hymns, ‘They form the raw material for an important research which would help to elucidate the state of religious and intellectual culture during the obscure centuries of the early Middle Ages.’ Clemens Blume, the great Jesuit hymnologist, a generation earlier had reached the same conclusion when he published his edition of Hymnodia Gothica in the twenty-seventh volume of the Analecta hymnica medii aevi.
