Description

This interdisciplinary panel hopes to incorporate liturgical practices and objects into the broader history of reform during the transformative period of the "long" eleventh century (the question of investiture, for example, is essentially a liturgical problem). Papers consider liturgical objects--vestments, the liturgical comb, and musical texts--within the broader context of the changing social conditions and the religious reform of Europe from the later Carolingian period to the early twelfth century.
