Hardcover. XII 390 p., 7 b/w ill., 3 b/w tables, 156 x 234 mm, Languages: English, French, German, Fine copy. Including an index. ISBN 9782503534824. This collection of papers delves into the fascinating methods with which monastic groups of the central Middle Ages practised modes of oral communication.Although traditionally defined as a literate environment, Western monastic culture depended on a range of communicative practices which was just as large, and in some ways more sophisticated in its diversity, than that of other groups of society.

Grouped in five thematic chapters, the papers in this volume aim to provide inroads into a useable interpretation of the various contexts in which monks and nuns in the central Middle Ages considered the spoken word as a vital complementary medium to other forms of communication. 0 g.…
