Imagining the Santiago Pilgrimage: The Case of the Alcobaça Manuscript

| Summary: | Two partial copies of the Liber sancti Jacobi were made in the twelfth century, both based so far as we know on the earliest copy, the one still preserved in the Cathedral Archives at Santiago de Compostela. One has a lengthy colophon written by Arnalt de Munt, monk of Ripoll (OSB) who explains that he went to Santiago and made the partial copy for the benefit of his fellow monks at Ripoll. It includes his rendering of some of the chants from Book I. The other tells us nothing about its creation or reception. By the seventeenth century, it had become part of the holdings of the abbey of Alcobaça (O. Cist.), but we do not know if it was made there or elsewhere in Iberia or France. Comparative work is still needed to resolve questions about its provenance and reception. This essay is a first step in that direction. |
