Description

Explore the first full-length study of the medieval cantor and their vital role in the Latin West from 800 to 1500. This York Medieval Press publication examines how these individuals shaped history through their liturgical duties. The men and women holding this office in monasteries and cathedrals managed the very framework of time. Readers will learn how cantors calculated the date of Easter and its dependent feasts, formulated seasonal liturgical celebrations, and managed essential libraries.
