The Life of Saint Adelelmus (Adelem or Lesmes) manuscript concerns an eleventh-century abbot of the monastery of La Chaise-Dieu in the Loire valley, who was a patron saint of Burgos. It comprises two parts: the surviving remnants of a fourteenth-century breviary for the use of Rome and the life and miracles of Saint Adelelmus, with later additional chants, and the sixteenth-century liturgy for the Mass and Office of the saint, with notation on a five-line staff. A heart-shaped piece of parchment inscribed with the Latin title of the biography is an unusual feature of the manuscript.

International social justice movements and the debates that ensued prompted us to start considering the contents of our website from a critical point of view. This has led us to acknowledge that most of the texts in our database are Western-centered. We have asked the authors of our content to be aware of the underlying racial and cultural bias in many scholarly sources, and to try to keep in mind multiple points of view while describing the manuscripts. We also recognize that this is yet a small, first step towards fighting inequality.

If you notice any trace of racist or unjust narratives in our communications, please help us be part of the change by letting us know.
