Liturgy and images in Vic in the Middle Ages Authors Dominique de Courcelles DOI: 10.2436/20.1002.01.82 Keywords: Episcopal Library of Vic, illuminations, books of hours, liturgical manuscript, Episcopal Museum of Vic, religious painting Abstract The liturgical manuscripts kept since the 9th century in the Episcopal Library of Vic form a rare and remarkable set of books that allows one to observe certain evolutions of liturgy and piety throughout the course of the Middle Ages. Images acquire a growing importance and express new spiritual demands. The prayer of celebrants and that of the faithful are supported by the presence in images of Christ, the Virgin and the saints. The books are in consonance with the representations in painting and sculpture of reredoses, altar frontals and altar baldachins, crosses and images. Downloads Download data is not yet available.
