Overview

Centuries of Silence: The Discovery of the Salzinnes Antiphonal showcases an exceptional cultural artifact made in 1554-55 for Dame Julienne de Glymes, prioress of the Cistercian Abbey of Salzinnes, and rediscovered in the Patrick Power Library at St. Marys University in 1998. The liturgical text, plainchant music, and rare full-page illuminations make for a rich document of a time, the Renaissance; a place, Wallonia; and a community of cloistered women who come alive in this manuscript two centuries after the venerable abbeys demise. Des siècles de silence : La découverte de lantiphonaire de Salzinnes met en valeur un objet culturel exceptionnel fabriqué en 1554-1555 pour Dame Julienne de Glymes, prieure de labbaye cistercienne de Salzinnes et redécouvert en 1998 á la Bibliothèque Patrick Power de lUniversité Saint Marys. Le texte liturgique, le plain-chant et dexceptionnelles enluminures sur pleine page font de cet antiphonaire le riche document dune période : la Renaissance, dun endroit : la Wallonie, et dune communauté de religieuses cloîtrées, qui y reprennent vie comme par enchantement, deux siècles après la dissolution de la vénérable abbaye.
