It offers clear and accessible blueprints for future research into the description, analysis, and interpretation (musical, theological, and cultural) of this and other liturgies. For non-specialists, the authors introduce the fundamental aspects of Old Hispanic liturgy, its manuscripts, services, and liturgical genres. For specialists, they present diverse approaches to studying the Old Hispanic materials, encompassing notational, musical, theological, and historical perspectives. Additionally, for those interested in musical notation, the book offers a practical method for working with unpitched neumes, accompanied by illustrative examples, that will inspire and challenge scholars engaged in monophonic chant. Furthermore, for historians and liturgists, the texts and melodies are analyzed in conjunction with the theological context that shaped their creation, providing a deeper understanding of this rich and complex period.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1048g\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimension\u003c\/strong\u003e: 176 x 251 x 28 (mm)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN-13\u003c\/strong\u003e: 9781108845892\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"EmmaHornby,KatiIhnat,RebeccaMaloy,RaquelRojo Carrillo","offers":[{"title":"Hardback","offer_id":44508896788730,"sku":"9781108845892","price":111.26,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0522\/4297\/2845\/products\/1692364343546_book.jpg?v=1692707752","url":"https:\/\/shulphink.com\/products\/understanding-the-old-hispanic-office-texts-melodies-and-devotion-in-early-medieval-iberia-9781108845892","provider":"Shulph Ink","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
