Arthur Westwell is undertaking a research project for three years funded by the DFG entitled "Die Sakramentare aus Saint-Amand als Fallstudie in den Prozessen des liturgischen Wandels im 9. Jahrhundert". He investigates the production of a unique series of deluxe mass books at the monastery of Saint-Amand in north-eastern France, and uses them as examples of the creative and ambitious achievements of compilation in the later Carolingian period. These neglected manuscript witnesses demonstrate how ,monastic scribes innovated in organising knowledge, preserving their liturgical inheritence against the turmoils of the Viking invasions. He has previously work on Carolingian liturgical ordines, and his book Roman Liturgy and Frankish Creativity: The Early Medieval Manuscripts of the Ordines Romani will be published by Cambridge University Press in 2023.

Gregory Tucker is currently working on a project under the title "Hymning the Transfiguration of Christ in the Greek East: Heortology, Thematic Development, and Theological Contributions,” funded for three years by the DFG. Despite the clear historical and contemporary significance of the transfiguration of Christ, its liturgical commemoration in the Eastern Christian world remains little studied and there has been, to date, no systematic investigation of the important and rich corpus of festal hymns. This project fills the identified lacuna in research through a ground-breaking study of the Greek hymns of the feast, including a re-evaluation of the sources for the history of the emergence and development of the feast in the Christian (Byzantine) East, which will provide broader context for the study; the cataloguing, editing, and translation of the corpus of Greek festal hymns; and a theological commentary, exploring the principal themes developed in the hymns in comparison with contemporary sources, including homilies, biblical commentaries, and dogmatic and ascetical treatises. Dr Tucker previously completed his doctoral studies at the University of Regensburg and his dissertation is published as The Hymnography of the Middle Byzantine Ecclesiastic Rite & Its Festal Theology: Introduction–Edition & Translation–Commentary (Aschendorff, 2022).
