Mary Kay Duggan, Department of Music and the School of Information and Management Systems, University of California at Berkeley

November 4, 2 to 5 pm
Dinner Board Room of the Graduate Theological Union, 2400 Ridge Road, Berkeley

The workshop will treat changing patterns of literacy and readership, as they are displayed in liturgical texts. It will include some basic discussion of the nature of liturgy and the nature of readers in Early Modern Europe, as well as hands-on work with a wide variety of liturgical materials, such as the Roman missal, Psalters, the mass of the dead, and Luther's mass. It is an excellent opportunity to approach issues of literacy from a neglected perspective, and an opportunity to become acquainted with these fundamental sources of European ritual life.

The workshop will be followed by wine and other suitable refreshment.

Mary Kay Duggan, who is both a music historian and an expert on early printing, will also be teaching a seminar entitled Constructing a new ritual context: Reform and music 1450-1600 in the Spring of 2002.
