Medieval manuscripts combining multiple languages, whether in fusion or in collision, provide tangible evidence for linguistic and cultural interactions. Such encounters are documented in this volume through case studies from across Europe and Asia, all the way from Ireland to Japan, exploring the creativity of medieval language use as a function of cross-cultural contact and fluidity in this key period of nation-formation (9th-14th centuries CE).

Der Band untersucht die komplexen Beziehungen zwischen Hymnus und Gebet in Mittelalter und Früher Neuzeit. Der Fokus liegt auf den vielfältigen Adaptationen lateinischer Hymnen und Sequenzen für den Gebrauch in der volkssprachlichen Andacht. Wie verhalten sich Hymnus und Gebet gattungstypisch zueinander? Welche Formen und Funktionen nehmen volkssprachliche Bearbeitungen liturgischer Lieder in ihren jeweiligen pragmatischen Umgebungen an? Die Fallstudien, die dieser Band versammelt, loten das Spektrum des Gattungs- und Gebrauchswechsels auf dem Weg vom Hymnus zum Gebet aus. Sie analysieren Phänomene des Medienwechsels, Spezifika der Überlieferungsträger und Überlieferungskontexte sowie die poetologischen Innovationen der volkssprachlichen Übertragungen. Weitere Aspekte, auf welche die mittelhochdeutschen, mittelniederdeutschen und mittelniederländischen Quellen hin untersucht werden, betreffen das Verhältnis von Liturgie und Volkssprache, Öffentlichkeit und Privatheit, Mündlichkeit und Schriftlichkeit sowie Gesang und Lektüre. Der interdisziplinär ausgerichtete Sammelband richtet sich nicht nur an die mediävistische Germanistik, sondern auch an die Liturgie-, Musik- und Kunstwissenschaft. This volume brings together studies on the diverse ways that the genres and usage of hymns and sequences transformed in the middle ages and early modern period, taking them from being Latin liturgies to becoming vernacular meditations.

Medieval manuscripts are our shared inheritance, and today they are more accessible than ever—thanks to digital copies online. Yet for all that widespread digitization has fundamentally transformed how we connect with the medieval past, we understand very little about what these digital objects really are. We rarely consider how they are made or who makes them. This case study-rich book demystifies digitization, revealing what it's like to remake medieval books online and connecting modern digital manuscripts to their much longer media history, from print, to photography, to the rise of the internet. Examining classic late-1990s projects like Digital Scriptorium 1.0 alongside late-2010s initiatives like Bibliotheca Philadelphiensis, and world-famous projects created by the British Library, Corpus Christi College Cambridge, Stanford University, and the Walters Art Museum against in-house digitizations performed in lesser-studied libraries, Whearty tells never-before-published narratives about globally important digital manuscript archives. Drawing together medieval literature, manuscript studies, digital humanities, and imaging sciences, Whearty shines a spotlight on the hidden expert labor responsible for today's revolutionary digital access to medieval culture. Ultimately, this book argues that centering the modern labor and laborers at the heart of digital cultural heritage fosters a more just and more rigorous future for medieval, manuscript, and media studies.

Through the application of scientific methods of analysis to a corpus of medieval manuscripts found in the Cairo Genizah, this work aims to gain a better understanding of the writing materials used by Jewish communities at that time, shedding new light not only on the production of manuscripts in the Middle Ages, but also on the life of those Jewish communities.
