The Mass: A Study of the Roman Liturgy (Classic Reprint)

Excerpt from The Mass: A Study of the Roman LiturgyThis book is intended to supply information about the history of the Roman liturgy. The dogmatic side of the Mass is discussed by the Bishop of Newport in the same series.1 The title shows that it is a study of the Roman rite. It is only in the Roman (or Gallican) rite that the Eucharistic service can correctly be called Mass. The chapter about other liturgies and the frequent references to them throughout are meant only to put our Roman Mass in its proper perspective and to illustrate its elements by com parison. In spite of the risk Of repetition, the clearest plan seemed to be to discuss first the origin and development of the Mass in general and then to go through the service as it stands now, adding notes to each prayer and ceremony.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

The Ceremonies of the Roman Rite Described

Vatican II mandated that the Church's treasury of sacred music is to be preserved and cultivated with great care -in particular, Gregorian chant and Latin were to retain pride of place.  That's the last most Catholic heard of either. But a half-century before Vatican II, the great priest-liturgist Adrian Fortescue was doing for his own parishioners what the Church would later demand.  How?  By compiling the greatest Latin hymns of the ages-with his own exquisite translations-into one volume, for singing and meditation. This new facsimile edition reproduces the 1913 edition-as set by Stanley Morison, the finest typographer of his time.  It also includes Fr. Fortescue's original Preface and a new Afterword by Michael Davies. Please note that this book contains the words only - no musical notation.
