Frontczak, Bogusława2026-03-062026-03-062010Seminare, 2010, Tom 28, s. 15-28.1232-8766https://theo-logos.pl/handle/123456789/42230This paper presents an allegorical interpretation of the Liturgy of the Hours in Amalarius of Metz’s primary work “Liber Officialis”. The liturgical allegory searches for the “spiritual” meaning of words, gestures, postures and customs. Amalarius builds his interpretations on the symbolism of time, numbers and celestial bodies. He is interested in word etymologies and the interpretations of postures and customs that appeared during prayers.polCC-BY-ND - Uznanie autorstwa - Bez utworów zależnychAmalary z MetzuLiturgia Godzinalegoriasens alegorycznyalegorezasymbolikainterpretacjainterpretacja alegorycznainterpretacja alegoryczna Liturgii Godzinciała niebieskieczassymbolika ciał niebieskichsymbolika czasusymbolika liczbliczbyAmalarius of MetzLiturgy of the Hoursallegoryallegorical sensesymbolisminterpretationallegorical interpretationallegorical interpretation of the Liturgy of the Hoursheavenly bodiestimesymbolism of heavenly bodiessymbolism of timesymbolism of numbersnumbersArticle
