This handsome edition of obituaires from Albi makes available the cathedral's medieval obit lists, records of the death and commemoration of the souls of its clergy and wider community, a type of document comparatively rare in England but widespread in France. These lists contain the names, status and date of death of members of the cathedral community, and from the fourteenth century additional detail. Albi is exceptionally rich in the survival of its obituaires, all four of which are printed here: a calendrier-nécrologe from first half of the twelfth century, a martyrologie-obituaire from the second half of the twelfth century, and two obituaires, one from the fifteenth century, the other from the beginning of the seventeenth century, though the latter is an accounting rather than a liturgical text. They enable the development of commemorative practice at Albi to be traced through the Middle Ages. The high turnover of names between lists is striking; the economic realities of commemoration were such that most lasted for no more than a hundred years. The texts have been scrupulously edited and generously illustrated. An extensive introduction places them in their wider liturgical, economic and social context and assesses their significance. There is also an important chapter on the medieval topography of the cathedral and a substantial prosopography of its clergy.
