Recenzje

This magisterial work promises to transform our understanding of how the medieval liturgy was embellished, glossed, and interpreted. Nardini takes us into the creative worlds of singers in medieval southern Italy, yielding vivid insights into their practice of liturgical exegesis, interactions between institutions, and engagement in oral and written modes of composition. As a model for future scholarship on related genres, this book should be eagerly read by all who are interested in the history of the medieval liturgy and medieval Southern Italy. Moreover, the companion website is an invaluable resource for performers.
