Description
Posits that the Paternoster diagram in the Vernon manuscript, transcribed in an appendix, as an example of a "supplementary text" that performs devotional work in dialogue with ParsT's call to prayer. Examines the visual and verbal structure of the multilingual diagram as it encourages abstract, connective thinking.
