The author connects the sacrifices of the Old Testament with the new sacrifice of Christ, breaking down each part of the liturgy to make it understandable to the faithful. An edition based on historical manuscripts that offers a unique vision of medieval spirituality and the origins of Spanish literature.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat is it about?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe poem begins by establishing a parallel between the sacrifices described in the Old Testament and the sacrifice of Christ on the cross, which is renewed in the Mass. Next, Berceo meticulously describes each of the parts of the liturgy, from the introit to the dismissal, explaining their symbolism and spiritual value. The work concludes with a plea from the author for the faithful to pray for him, a gesture characteristic of the devotional literature of the time. This edition has been prepared from two ancient manuscripts: the 1533 one from the National Library of Spain and the one from the Archive of the Monastery of Santo Domingo de Silos.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eMain themes\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eTheology of the Eucharistic sacrifice and its relationship with Old Testament traditions\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eLiturgical exegesis: symbolic explanation of each rite of the Mass\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eMedieval Christian doctrine and catechesis in verse\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eDevotional literature of the 13th century in the Romance language\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eThe figure of the poet as a spiritual intercessor for the community\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWho is it recommended for?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis book is aimed at scholars of medieval Spanish literature interested in the work of Gonzalo de Berceo and the origins of Castilian poetry.
