In the 11th century the Spanish Church was required to abandon the Mozarabic liturgy in favour of Roman texts. Walker examines the effect of this change by looking at liturgical manuscripts contemporary with this upheaval, in particular the Silos corpus in the British Library and three missals from Spanish libraries, including the notable Missal of San Facundo. By analysing content, presentation and style, she builds up a series of snap-shots of the textual and visual strategies employed in implementing liturgical change.

How did a society whose intellectual framework was founded on stasis and regression accommodate innovation? The Spanish Church of the eleventh century was confronted with precisely this problem when it was required to abandon the Mozarabic liturgy in favour of Roman texts.By examining liturgical manuscripts contemporary with the change, this innovative comparative study reveals ways in which the new liturgy was introduced and received. Dr. Walker has chosen a group of liturgical manuscripts from the Silos corpus held in The British Library as the subject of her investigation. They are set alongside three missals from Spanish libraries, including the notable Missal of San Facundo. By analysing the content, presentation, and style of these little known manuscripts, she builds up a series of snap-shots of the textual and visual strategies employed in implementing liturgical change.

In this extensively illustrated book, Rose Walker reconsiders Spanish and Portuguese art and architecture from the time of the Romans to the turn of the eleventh century. Challenging earlier overviews, Walker highlights the artistic unities shared by Christians and Muslims that culminated in the later tenth century and went on to inform aspects of Romanesque art. The book draws together an exceptionally diverse range of academic studies, including work previously familiar only to Hispanophone audiences.

For generations maps of the pilgrimage roads and of the reconquista have bedevilled the study of Spanish art and architecture. They have also infiltrated the popular imagination and come to dominate the ways we think about Spain and Portugal. Art in Spain and Portugal from the Romans to the Early Middle Ages: Routes and Myths sets out to diminish the power of these images and to enrich the wider English-language literature on early medieval art. Starting with the Romans and working through the vertical layers to the early Romanesque period Rose Walker draws together scholarly work hitherto confined within disciplinary boundaries, specialist regional studies, and findings familiar only to Spanish-speaking audiences. The author builds on these studies and her own research to present narratives that question art historical and archaeological orthodoxies. New perspectives emerge from the routes along which wealth and artistic expertise crossed the peninsula, showing the endurance of the north-south axis and the strength of networks and pragmatic alliances that often operated without regard for religious difference.
