N2 - The seventy-six extant service-books of the cathedral of Florence, produced from the twelfth to the early sixteenth centuries, document the development of the liturgical material (texts and music) from local specificity to ever greater concordance with the liturgical uses of the Roman Curia. In their visual decoration, however, they simultaneously display an increasing embodiment of local references and civic tendencies that in the latest examples culminate in illuminations divorced from religious meaning, celebrating the Medicis as the ruling family and adding an exclusively secular and political dimension to these instruments of worship.
