De Sion exibit lex et verbum domini de Hierusalem: Essays on Medieval Law, Liturgy and Literature in Honour of Amnon Linder (Cultural Encounters in Late Antiquity and the Middle Ages)

0.0

Amnon Linder, professor of medieval history at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem has published two seminal studies in the history of the Christian Holy Land and in Jewish-Christian relations in Late Antiquity and the Middle Ages (Jerusalem-Toronto, 1987 and 1997 respectively) but in recent years has dedicated himself to the study of medieval liturgy, particularly Crusader liturgy of the liberation and destruction of Jerusalem. The essays gathered here from friends, colleagues and students of Prof. Linder pick up the themes of Linder's publications - medieval law, liturgy and literature. The papers deal with a variety of sources, and encompass the fourth to fifteenth centuries, and span from the Holy Land to the British Isles, and present different methodologies.
