Reihe: Dallas Medieval Texts and Tran

Adam of Saint-Victor’s († 1146) sequences are recognized as

sophisticated liturgical poetry, the highest development of this

literary genre. In addition to their merit as unique medieval cultural

sources, they offer an expression of the lived theology of the

twelfth-century Abbey of Saint-Victor in Paris. This translation of the

collection of Adam’s sequences presents them as a whole, using language

that seeks to retain the theological significance of the Latin

terminology. The parallel Latin text allows readers to examine the

original language used. The included introduction and notes situate the

sequences in their historical context and offer references to Adam’s

many sources.
