Eric Palazzo, of the Université de Poitiers, will speak on “Early Medieval Ivories, Liturgy, and the Five Senses”
The lecture will explore some aspects of the role of the five senses in the definition of the early medieval liturgy and the importance of their activation during the performance of the ritual. It will suggest a new interpretation of the iconography of one of the most famous Carolingian ivories and its liturgical representation by considering the expression of visualization of the senses in the image.
The talk will be followed by dinner at Faculty House. All those who wish to dine with the speaker after the talk must make reservations by contacting the rapporteur of the seminar, Jeffrey Wayno, either by phone or by email no later than one week before the talk at (607) 342-5737 or [email protected]. Dinner is a fixed buffet menu, which costs $24 per person. Payment can be made to the rapporteur by cash or check, although checks are strongly preferred.
