Summary:

This book presents the study and critical edition of one of the oldest obituaries preserved for a Portuguese collegiate church - the Medieval Obituary of St. Bartholomew of Coimbra. Written on an extraordinarily complex calendar, where all the elements of the calculation of the Catholic liturgical year, the invocation of the main saints, martyrs and confessors of the Church, the ritual orientations of the daily office as well as some profane and superstition elements take place, this document projects us into mental pictures and structures of thought, of living time and religion fundamental to the understanding of Western civilization. In turn, the identification of the deceased to be celebrated daily in the church of São Bartolomeu de Coimbra and the property bequeathed by them, for the maintenance of the funeral ceremonies, allows us to observe that parish, its space and its population, for over two hundred years.
