Though it may not be immediately obvious why articles on topics
from such distantly removed areas of western Europe - the Iberian
peninsula and southern Italy - should appear in the same volume
(the fourth collection by Roger Reynolds), the materials covered
illustrate that they are indeed closely related, both in their
differences and their similarities. Both peninsulas had their own
indigenous liturgies and music (Old Spanish and Beneventan),
distinctive written scripts (Visigothic and Beneventan), and legal
and theological traditions, and repeatedly these worked their
influence on other areas of western Europe. Although there were
frequent attempts by the papacy and secular rulers from the 9th to
the 13th century to suppress these distinctive traditions in both
areas, elements of these nonetheless survived well into the 16th
century and beyond. Despite the differences in these traditions,
the articles in this volume also demonstrate through manuscript
evidence the continued exchange of the distinctive customs between
the Iberian peninsula and southern Italian cultures from the very
early Middle Ages through the 12th century.
