K1 Middle English K1 liturgy K1 manuscript K1 codicology K1 orality and literacy AB Important discussions of Middle English miscellanies, with special reference to works ofreligious instruction, include, for instance, work by Margaret Connolly (2003, 2011) andRalph Hanna (e.g., 1996, 2007, 2010). But much detailed work remains to be done, fromvarious disciplinary perspectives, to respond to the challenge set inter alia by ThorlacTurville-Petre forty years ago, viz., to set such works “much more securely and illuminat-ingly within [their] local context” (1983, 141). In this paper, part of an ongoing programmeof research into the ‘cultural mapping’ of Middle English writings on the liturgy (see e.g.,Jasper and Smith 2019, 2023; Smith 2021), a range of verse and prose texts are placed intheir codicological contexts. It will be demonstrated how the forms of these texts correlateclosely with the socio-cultural functions of the manuscripts in which they survive. PB Servicio de Publicaciones.
