The book presents the analysis of a selection of homiliaries in Beneventan script (10th-13th centuries). That is to say: eight homiletic manuscripts of the Capitulary Library of Benevento, several Montecassino codices, one Vatican manuscript, four manuscripts from the Vallicelliana Library in Rome and a codex of the Diocesan Museum of Salerno. The thorough description of the character of these collections, and of the individual texts that compose them, allows to identify the presence or absence of some patristic texts and other peculiarities that can be related to well-defined geo-cultural milieux. The homiliaries – fundamental documents for the history of the liturgical office – are also a precious tool for the study of patristic literature and of its Medieval fortunes if put in relation with the historical and cultural dynamics that determined their production.
