The Homilies of Organyà is a collection of six homilies on passages from the Christian Gospels, the Epistles of Saint Paul, and the Book of Joel, aimed at preparing believers for penance during Lent. The text is written in Old Catalan in an early Gothic script. Made around 1203, the manuscript preserves one of the earliest texts in the Catalan language, offering invaluable insights into medieval preaching, linguistics, and religious practices. The manuscript's text has been the subject of critical editions and scholarly analysis, highlighting its linguistic and historical significance.

International social justice movements and the debates that ensued prompted us to start considering the contents of our website from a critical point of view. This has led us to acknowledge that most of the texts in our database are Western-centered. We have asked the authors of our content to be aware of the underlying racial and cultural bias in many scholarly sources, and to try to keep in mind multiple points of view while describing the manuscripts. We also recognize that this is yet a small, first step towards fighting inequality.

If you notice any trace of racist or unjust narratives in our communications, please help us be part of the change by letting us know.
