International audienceThe article examines the different liturgical modes of transmission of faith in the Middle Ages. The inquiry leaves the impression of a liturgical triptych wich describes the actual reception of faith by the faithful. The first panel is made up of the liturgical texts themselves which express the orthodoxy of faith as defined by the Church. The second panel contains the normative texts by which the ecclesiastical authorities attempt to harmonise liturgical practice with the content of the sacred pieces.
