About the event
The Murbach Hymns (MS. Junius 25) – Vernacular Glossing in the Early Middle Ages
A webinar centring around the Murbach hymns, a Latin hymnal with Old High German interlinear glosses from the ninth century, whose manuscript and textual context will be examined. We will also be looking at the use and function of vernacular language in the early Middle Ages on a wider scale.
The manuscript MS. Junius 25 and other glossed manuscripts dating from the 8th to 11th centuries from the Bodleian Library will be presented and analysed, giving the opportunity to view these valuable objects up close. In three discussion sessions, we will draw a connection between the manuscripts and their use.
