About This Book

This study traces the development and use of Latin hymnody across the medieval period, surveying early Christian hymns, the consolidation of hymnals, the ninth-century revival and creation of sequences, later medieval hymns and processional practice, and the hymns' influence and survival. It emphasizes the functional role of hymns in liturgy, examines cultural and institutional forces — including liturgical reform, monastic and courtly scholarship, and regional traditions — that shaped composition and transmission, and provides illustrative texts, notes, and bibliography for further study. The account is written for general readers interested in liturgical history and medieval devotional poetry.
