Welcome to our research project. We\u2019re Katie and Madison, undergraduates here at the UGA. \u00a0Madison is an English major with a medieval literature area of emphasis, and Katie is double majoring in English and Classical Culture.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">We were both in Dr. Camp\u2019s course last fall when this project was getting off the ground. \u00a0By the end of the semester, the class had discovered that this little Book of Hours wasn\u2019t quite what had been expected. \u00a0Instead of finding the Hours of the Virgin, like is expected in a standard Book of Hours, there was a much more uncommon long Hours of the Passion, followed directly by an extended selection from John\u2019s Passion, chapters 18 and 19 in their entirety, with an accompanying selection of Passion-related prayers. The Passion was an increasingly important focus for lay devotion in the 15th century, when we believe this manuscript was made, but the persistent focus on the Passion in the Hargrett Hours is, as far as we can tell, quite uncommon. At the end of the semester we were left wondering where these texts originated and developed from, and what purpose they had for this manuscript and people who would have used it.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">This semester, the two of us are engaging in a directed reading that aims to take a closer look at the Passion texts within the Hargrett Hours in order to obtain a better understanding of the frequency and form in which these texts appear. \u00a0We hope to develop an idea of the Passion\u2019s purpose in both the Hargrett MS 836 and in the lives of medieval lay people. Who knows what kind of discoveries we\u2019ll make and problems we\u2019ll find, because nothing ever goes as planned, but we\u2019re looking forward to the challenges this book contains. Hopefully we\u2019ll have something new to present to y\u2019all on these blog posts, and we promise to make it as entertaining as medieval christianity can possibly be.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><em>\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Until next time, <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Katie and Madison<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Hey!
