Index

“The Feast of Corpus Christi is in many ways an invaluable resource. It makes available for the first time a centrally important group of texts and chants, presented in such a way that specialists and nonspecialists alike can easily make use of them for research and teaching. Although not everyone will agree with Walters’s contentions, the book greatly enriches our understanding of the feast by placing an abundant offering of primary source material in its historical context.”
