Ritual Memory brings together two areas of study which have
hitherto rarely been studied in comparison: liturgy and the
apocryphal Acts of the Apostles. The book gives an analysis of the
liturgical celebration of the apostles in the medieval West and
examines the incorporation of the apocrypha in practices of ritual
commemoration. It reveals the role that liturgy played in the
transmission of the apocryphal Acts and visualises the way these
narrative traditions developed and changed through their
incorporation into a ritual context. The result is a dynamic
picture of the ritual reception of the extra-canonical Acts in the
Latin Middle Ages, where the apocryphal legends about the apostolic
past were approached as memorable traditions on the origins of
Christianity.
