Abstract (en)

Examines the structure, text and illumination of liturgical manuscripts to determine the extent, pace and form of the change from the Mozarabic to the Roman liturgy in Spain at the end of the 11th c. The close interaction of text and decoration can be seen as a crucial aspect of the liturgical change. The decorated text is seen also to operate as an image in its own right, thus raising issues of stylistic semiology. The relationship between liturgical change and stylistic change is shown to be complex. Despite reformers' efforts to present the change as stasis, the Spanish Church experienced a loss of identity and only slowly re-constructed a new form of orthodoxy.
