What is Hibernia Cantans: Music, Liturgy and the Veneration of Irish Saints in Medieval Europe about?

Ritus et Artes is an interdisciplinary series which presents innovative research on religious and cultural practices of the European Middle Ages and their post-medieval manifestations. Elements of medieval religious rituals, embedded in various traditions, have passed through into Western cultural heritage, memory, and sensibilities, informing thereby the development of the arts in the West. The series is particularly concerned with literary, musical, artistic, and architectural aspects of liturgical and ritual practices in the Middle Ages as well as the survival, revival, and resignification of these practices in the arts and related areas up to the present time, offering theological, aesthetical, philosophical, and general historical perspectives on their reception.
