Structure, Indexing Systems and Liturgical Reading of Early Medieval Gospel Books (A09*)

福音手稿被广泛认为是中世纪礼仪中最重要的书籍。它们不仅包含牧师在弥撒中大声朗读的福音书作为上帝的话语，而且还包括标准化的副文本语料库。这个项目将研究福音书手稿的物理特征如何与这些书在礼仪阅读中的使用相关，特别考虑它们的副文本和索引所起的作用。

Gospel manuscripts are widely considered to be the most important books in medieval liturgy. They not only contain the Gospels as the Word of God that the priest read aloud during Mass, but also include a standardised corpus of paratexts. This project will examine how the physical characteristics of Gospel manuscripts were related to the usage of these books in liturgical reading, considering in particular the functions served by their paratexts and indices.
