Adam of Saint-Victor, Sequences

By J Mousseau and Juliet Mousseau RSCJ

Adam of Saint-Victor's (+ 1146) sequences are recognized assophisticated liturgical poetry, the highest development of thisliterary genre. In addition to their merit as unique medieval culturalsources, they offer an expression of the lived theology of thetwelfth-century Abbey of Saint-Victor in Paris. This translation of thecollection of Adam's sequences presents them as a whole, using languagethat seeks to retain the theological significance of the Latinterminology. The parallel Latin text allows readers to examine theoriginal language used. The included introduction and notes situate thesequences in their historical context and offer references to Adam'smany sources.
