How did people learn their Bibles in the Middle Ages? Did church
murals, biblical manuscripts, sermons or liturgical processions
transmit the Bible in the same way? This book unveils the dynamics
of biblical knowledge and dissemination in thirteenth- and
fourteenth-century England. An extensive and interdisciplinary
survey of biblical manuscripts and visual images, sermons and
chants, reveals how the unique qualities of each medium became part
of the way the Bible was known and recalled; how oral, textual,
performative and visual means of transmission joined to present a
surprisingly complex biblical worldview. This study of liturgy and
preaching, manuscript culture and talismanic use introduces the
concept of biblical mediation, a new way to explore Scriptures and
society. It challenges the lay-clerical divide by demonstrating
that biblical exegesis was presented to the laity in non-textual
means, while the 'naked text' of the Bible remained elusive even
for the educated clergy. -- .
