The volume assesses performative structures within a variety of medieval forms of textuality, from vernacular literature to records of parliamentary proceedings, from prayer books to musical composition. Three issues are central to the volume: the role of ritual speech acts; the way in which authorship can be seen as created within medieval texts rather than as a given category; finally, phenomena of voice, created and situated between citation and repetition, especially in forms which appropriate and transform literary tradition. The volume encompasses articles by historians and musicologists as well as literary scholars. It spans European literature from the West (French, German, Italian) to the East (Church Slavonic), vernacular and Latin; it contrasts modes of liturgical meditation in the Western and Eastern Church with secular plays and songs, and it brings together studies on the character of 'voice' in major medieval authors such as Dante with examples of Dante-reception in the early twentieth century.

The phenomena of religious pluralization in medieval texts can be observed not just in dramatic transgressions but also in subtle variations. The contributions in this volume sound out these intra- and interreligious spaces from the perspectives of semantics, narratology, and discourse and transmission history, providing new insights into the diversification of religious difference in the pre-modern period. Während sich die Forschungsdiskussion zur Vielfalt religiöser Texte des Mittelalters zumeist auf spektakuläre Zuspitzungen und dramatische Überschreitungen konzentrierte, schlagen die Beiträge des Bandes eine andere Perspektive vor. Pluralisierung und Phänomene der Vervielfältigung werden auf ihre grundlegenden Bedingungen hin untersucht, um auch weniger radikale Formen von Vielfalt und allgemeinere Spielräume sichtbar zu machen, in denen vormoderne Texte intra- und interreligiöse Differenz zulassen und bearbeiten. Ausgehend von semantischen, narratologischen, diskurs- und überlieferungs-geschichtlichen Aspekten erkunden die Beiträge die unterschiedlichen Ausrichtungen, Integrationsformen, Bestimmungen und Bewertungen dieser Spielräume. ,Postsäkulare' Perspektiven werden dabei von pluralistischen Gesellschaften der Gegenwart zu der systematischen Frage umgelenkt, in welcher Form religiöse Texte des Mittelalters plurale Differenzen ermöglichten, erzeugten oder verarbeiteten. Ziel des Bandes ist so ein komplementärer Blick auf Spielräume, die nicht nur von markanten Leitdifferenzen, Überschreitungen und Übertragungen geprägt sind, sondern ebenso sehr von feinen Unterschieden leben.
