Sounds, Chants and Discant in Wilbrand von Oldenburg’s Itinerarium: the Embassy in Cilicia (1211-1212)
Paola Dessì · 2025
Catalogue summary
Wilbrand’s Cilician embassy narrative records Epiphany processions, clergy, discantus, chants, and ceremonial sound while situating Lesser Armenia among diplomatic, military, and ecclesiastical networks.
Why this matters
The travel account supplies unusually detailed evidence for Armenian court ritual and liturgical performance within a multilingual eastern Mediterranean soundscape.
