The Codex Buranus, compiled, in all likelihood, in South Tyrol in
the first half of the thirteenth century, has fascinated modern
scholars and performers ever since its rediscovery in 1803. Its
diverse range of texts (some famously featuring in Carl Orff's
Carmina Burana) and music gives testimony to the intensely vibrant,
plurilingual, and multicultural milieu in which the Codex Buranus
was compiled, but poses a challenge to modern users. Perhaps more
so than many other medieval manuscripts, it is an artefact which
demands, and benefits from, an interdisciplinary approach. The
chapters here, from scholars in a variety of fields, enable the
less well-known aspects of the Codex Buranus; textual, musical, and
artistic; to receive greater scrutiny, and bring new perspectives
to bear on the more thoroughly explored parts of the manuscript.
Making accessible existing discourse and encouraging fresh debates
on the codex, the essays advocate fresh modes of engagement with
its contents, contexts, and composition. They also examine
questions of its reception history and audience.
