Reviews

This book provides an important status quaestionis of the recently conducted research. At the same time, it also offers a significant contribution to the renewal of the history of liturgy - specifically pertaining to occasional rituals in the Central Middle Ages - and an incentive to continue on this path of innovation. - Paul Trio, Katholieke Universiteit Leuven

I recommend it wholeheartedly' - English Historical Review
