Interdisciplinary Research Seminars “Manuscritos em Diálogo”
26/02/2018 @ 17:00 - 18:30 WET
Around the origins of the Salamanca Missal
The Salamanca Missal (E-SAu Ms 2637) is dated to the the second half of the 12th century/beginning of the 13th. The manuscript is fully notated and it contains the special lozanged punctum used to signal the lower note of the semitone—the use of the special punctum will become more and more common in manuscripts from Western Iberia in the following centuries. Regarding the origins of the Missal, previous scholars hypothesized the scriptoria of Silos and San Millán de la Cogolla. During the seminar we will have a close look at the contents of the Missal, discuss them with regard to previous hypothesis on the origins of the manuscript and outline its recent history in Salamanca. Finally, some experts of Art History will take part in the discussion and bring further evidence on the discussion around the origins of the Missal of Salamanca.

Interdisciplinary Research Seminars “Manuscritos em Diálogo”
The idea of gathering together interdisciplinary scholars to discuss some specific aspects related to the music, liturgy, art, palaeography and conservation of Iberian manuscripts stemmed from the scholarly discussions at the first Interdisciplinary Conference on Iberian Manuscripts (Faculty of Social Sciences and Humanities, Lisbon, October 2017).
These seminars are envisioned as didactic events devoted to spread useful information on how to tackle the study and description of different kinds of medieval manuscripts. The seminars aim to create bridges among scholars from different areas and promote dialogue between them. Seminars will be held every month from February to June 2018 and their participation is free.
Official languages: Portuguese, Spanish, French, English.
Organizers: Elsa De Luca and Alicia Miguelez
