The Study of Medieval Chant: Paths and Bridges, East and West, edited by Peter Jeffery, is a scholarly essay collection honoring a leading figure in chant studies, bringing together specialists on Western Gregorian and Eastern liturgical chant traditions to compare methodologies and findings across what had often been separately studied fields. Its authority rests on the recognized standing of its individual contributors within musicology and liturgical studies. As a multi-author edited volume, its comparative value depends on each chapter's own contributor and their specific regional or repertorial expertise, and the volume's explicit bridging aim reflects an editorial choice to bring traditionally separate specialties into conversation rather than presenting a single unified methodology all contributors share.
