In a seminal study, Cur cantatur?, Anders Ekenberg examined
Carolingian sources for explanations of why the liturgy was sung,
rather than spoken. This multidisciplinary volume takes up
Ekenberg's question anew, investigating the interplay of New
Testament writings, sacred spaces, biblical interpretation, and
reception history of liturgical practices and traditions. Analyses
of Greek, Latin, Coptic, Arabic, and Ge'ez sources, as well as of
archaeological and epigraphic evidence, illuminate an array of
topics, including recent trends in liturgical studies; manuscript
variants and liturgical praxis; Ignatius of Antioch's choral
metaphor; baptism in ancient Christian apocrypha; and the
significance of late ancient altar veils.
