Ordo ostendendarum reliquiarum Crumlovii

A Reaserch under a scrutiny

Summary/Abstract: The study deals with the dating and interpretation of the Latin text known under the title Ordoostendendarum reliquiarum Crumlovii. The text is a detailed instruction of Corpus Christi processionsand the subsequent exhibition and veneration of holy relics in the double monasteryof the Minorites and the Poor Clares in Český Krumlov. According to the codicological analysesby Michal Dragoun (see Appendix II), the Ordo comes from the end of the 1360s. The text isa rare monument also in terms of philology, because it contains the prescribed proclamationsand responses of the faithful in both local languages, Czech and German. The study further dealswith the displayed relics of the saints and their reliquaries. The hymns and songs in the courseof the ceremony were determined by Hana Vlhová-Wörner.
