Exultet iam angelica turba coelorum! – Rejoice, choirs of angels! – these words mark the beginning of the Easter Proclamation; its opening word, Exultet, gave its name to the manuscripts in which the proclamation was recorded as a central part of the Easter liturgy. The Exultet rolls, which originated between the 10th and 14th centuries, mainly in Apulia and Campania, combine writing, images and musical notation in a unique way. This book is the first to examine the material and media characteristics of the rolls from an interdisciplinary perspective, focusing not only on the objects themselves, but also on their use and perception in the Beneventan liturgy. It shows the extent to which the rolls contributed visually, aurally and olfactorily to the constitution of liturgical and social spaces. Exultet iam angelica turba coelorum! – Frohlocket, ihr Chöre der Engel! – mit diesen Worten setzt das Osterlob ein; sein Eingangswort Exultet gab den Manuskripten, auf denen das Lob als zentraler Bestandteil der Osterliturgie notiert war, seinen Namen. Die zwischen dem 10. und 14. Jahrhundert vor allem in Apulien und Kampanien entstandenen Exultet-Rollen kombinieren Schrift, Bild und musikalische Notation in einzigartiger Weise. Das Buch untersucht erstmals materielle und mediale Besonderheiten der Rollen aus interdisziplinärer Perspektive, indem es nicht nur die Objekte selbst, sondern auch ihre Nutzung und Wahrnehmung in der beneventanischen Liturgie in den Blick nimmt. Es wird gezeigt, inwiefern die Rollen visuell, auditiv und olfaktorisch zur Konstitution liturgischer und sozialer Räume beitrugen.
