OxTalks is Changing
OxTalks will soon move to the new Halo platform and will become 'Oxford Events.' There will be a need for an OxTalks freeze. This was previously planned for Friday 14th November – a new date will be shared as soon as it is available (full details will be available on the Staff Gateway).
In the meantime, the OxTalks site will remain active and events will continue to be published.
If staff have any questions about the Oxford Events launch, please contact halo@digital.ox.ac.uk
The Dominican Missal in the Thirteenth Century’
2016 marked the 800th anniversary of the foundation of the Dominican Order of Preachers, prompting a number of scholars to re-examine the Order’s origins. One of the aspects of early Dominican life that still merits further investigation is its chant and liturgy. Although various hypotheses have been proposed—that the Dominican liturgy is based on that of the Cistercians, or of Paris, for example—little progress has been made in untangling these propositions and understanding the processes behind the establishment of the Dominican liturgy. Only a handful of books survive from the early years of the Order, before the completion of a liturgical reform in the mid thirteenth century. Focussing on books for Mass, this paper will examine the early development of the Dominican liturgy and explore how their books were revised and updated, thus offering fresh perspectives on Dominican values in the thirteenth century.
