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拜仪式中最重要的书籍。它们不仅包含福音书作为上帝的话语，牧师在弥撒时大声朗读，而且还包括标准化的副文集。本项目将审查福音手稿的物理特征如何与这些书籍在礼拜阅读中的使用有关，特别是考虑到它们的副文和索引所起的作用。

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.
