Conference: Saints and illuminations of Metz calendars from the Middle Ages
Conference/commented presentation of heritage works with Aurore Gasseau.
From the celebrations of the saints of the Metz church to the illuminations of work in the fields, the calendars of the medieval books of hours from the collections of the Metz Libraries and Media Libraries will reveal all their specificities to you. The books of hours, works of personal devotion favored by the Messin elites at the end of the Middle Ages, traditionally open with a liturgical calendar. Three of them are kept at the Libraries-Media Library of Metz: through the mentions of local saints or processions, the religious life of Metz is revealed and their illuminations highlight all the richness and originality of the illuminated production local.
