Who Was the Reader of the Passional of the Abbess Kunigonde? Passion Imagery and Devotion in St George Monastery at the Prague Castle
Original language description
The sumptuously illuminated manuscript of the Passional of the abbess Cunigunde, which comprises only some 30 pages, belongs indisputably to the most famous medieval Bohemian manuscripts. There is a long tradition in the scholarship according to which the codex originated in the commission of Cunigunde, daughter of Přemysl Ottokar II and sister of Wenceslas II. However, scholars have not asked questions about the use of the manuscript. Therefore in my paper, I tackle the text-image relationship suggesting it worked as a tool in private devotion as well as in the education of medieval women. The variability of the use of the Passional manuscript begins to make sense as soon as we realise the principle of reading aloud as a common practice in the Middle Ages. Moreover, recent discoveries of the books made for the nunnery show that the Passion imagery does not concern only the visual depictions but appears in various rituals performed in St George’s convent.
