"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.

Hardcover. Condition: Good. 1st Edition. 3/4 green leather binding with tooled bands on the spine; red leather spine label with gilt lettering and gilt banding; marbled boards and marbled page edges on all sides; illustrated with frontis engraving of Catherine de Medici, Queen of France. Boards with wear to the edges; spine is still supple and binding is tight and complete; spine label chipped at the edges; page edges dusty and faded. Volume 2 only. Elisabeth of Valois (Spanish: Isabel; 2 April 1545 - 3 October 1568) was a Spanish queen consort. The eldest daughter of Henry II of France and Catherine de' Medici, she married Philip II of Spain as his third wife. She was born in the Château de Fontainebleau. Elisabeth had originally been betrothed to Philip's son, Carlos, Prince of Asturias, but political complications unexpectedly necessitated instead a marriage to Philip. Elisabeth of Valois is a central character in Thomas Otway's play Don Carlos, in Schiller's play of the same name, and in Verdi's opera adapted from Schiller's play, also titled Don Carlos. All these works imply a tragic romance between Elisabeth and Carlos, suggesting that they were really in love with each other when Elisabeth was forced to break off her engagement to Carlos and marry his father Philip.

Rowland Thirlmere was the pen-name of John Walker, poet and member of the Manchester Brasenose Club. He lived in Bury for much of his life but moved to Surrey after marrying and died in London in 1932. He seems to have been employed all his working life in order to support himself as a man of letters; and although he is now overlooked, a bronze medallion portrait of him by John Cassidy still exists in storage at Manchester Town Hall. (C. Hulme, 2017) These two beautiful volumes follow his Idylls of Spain from 1897 and come just two years before The Clash of Empires (1907), in which he forewarned of the growing threat of the Prussian Empire.
