Maggiori informazioni sul libro

Exploring the connection between medieval liturgy and the societal context, this book challenges the notion that congregations merely viewed the Latin liturgy as a spectacle. It posits that congregants had their own understanding of the rituals. By examining the writings of influential figures like Tertullian and Augustine, as well as practices such as infant baptism and related art and architecture, the author seeks to uncover the philosophical symbols that informed the ritual experiences of both priests and their congregations.
