The article explores a late medieval manuscript from a Dominican nuns’ convent in the city of Nuremberg, Holy Roman Empire, in which the sacristan describes her duties in ensuring the successful performance of the liturgy. By focusing on sound, the connections between liturgical practice and the spaces in which it took place are revealed. These diverse spaces were shaped by sound, which had not only sacred but also social implications
