Inhaltsangabe
How did a society whose intellectual framework was founded on stasis and regression accommodate innovation? The Spanish Church of the eleventh century was confronted with precisely this problem when it was required to abandon the Mozarabic liturgy in favour of Roman texts.
By examining liturgical manuscripts contemporary with the change, this innovative comparative study reveals ways in which the new liturgy was introduced and received. Dr. Walker has chosen a group of liturgical manuscripts from the Silos corpus held in The British Library as the subject of her investigation. They are set alongside three missals from Spanish libraries, including the notable Missal of San Facundo. By analysing the content, presentation, and style of these little known manuscripts, she builds up a series of snap-shots of the textual and visual strategies employed in implementing liturgical change.

"Change Was a Difficult Concept in Medieval Society; the Introduction of new or different ideas and approaches was generally viewed with suspicion, and could leave an innovator open to the charge of novitas, or innovation, or even heresy. Yet, change did occur. Rose Walker investigates the mechanism of change in the Middle Ages through the study of one particular innovation: the shift from the Mozarabic to the Roman liturgy in Spain after 1080. Walker focuses on the joint northern Spanish kingdoms of Leon and Castile to examine how the liturgical shift, initiated by the reforms of Pope Gregory VII, was reflected in the liturgical manuscripts of the time. By analysing the text and images in manuscripts of the Mozarabic and Roman liturgies produced in Spain before, during, and after the change in liturgy, she demonstrates how the presentation and decoration of liturgical texts helps to determine ways in which change was expressed, and to illuminate the perspective of those who had to put it into practice.
