Download date: 07. Oct. 2021 THE LITURGY OF THE HOLY SEPULCHRE OF JERUSALEM (XII-XVI CENTURY): WITH SPECIAL REFERENCE TO THE PRACTICE OF THE ORDERS OF THE TEMPLE AND ST JOHN OF JERUSALEM Cristina Francesca Dondi King's College London submitted for the degree of Ph.D. May 2000 \j 2 ABSTRACT The liturgy of the Holy Sepulchre of Jerusalem (X1I-XVI century): with special reference to the practice of the orders of the Temple and St John of Jerusalem The liturgy of the Holy Sepulchre is the practice adopted by the Latin Western Catholics once they settled in Jerusalem as a result of the first crusade, in 1099. It originated within the cathedral church of the Holy Sepulchre, the patriarchal see, and it was consequently adopted by most of the religious institutions within the patriarchate. While being completely western, it cannot be traced back to the liturgical use practised in any single western diocese. However its individual components clearly do derive from diverse western sources, showing that the liturgy of the Holy Sepulchre has a composite nature. With no extant records specifically related to the liturgy of the Hoiy Sepulchre to clarify for us what was its actual form, why was it put together in such a way, when, and by whom, only through the manuscripts has it been possible to reconstruct events for centuries left unsolved. The purpose of this research is first to define and analyse the characteristics of the liturgy of the Holy Sepulchre. Secondly, and most importantly, it is to identify the liturgy's western sources through a method, which we may call comparative liturgy, which allows its comparison against the widest range of western liturgical uses; and thirdly, to understand the process through which the western sources were incorporated as constituent parts of the liturgy of the Holy Sepulchre, providing new evidence for our understanding of the ecclesiastical organisation of Latin Jerusalem, as well as of some of the people most responsible for the liturgy's development. The work includes a descriptive catalogue of the 18 liturgical manuscripts of the Holy Sepulchre, produced in Jerusalem, Acre, and Cyprus; a description of the 2 Templar manuscripts from European houses; finally an inventory of the 66 manuscripts and 9 early editions used by Hospitaller houses in Europe. 3 LIST OF CONTENTS VOLUME I - Acknowledgments 4 - Bibliography of often cited works 5-13 - List of abbreviations 14 - List of manuscripts and early printed books cited in abbreviated form 15-20 - Introduction 21-39 - Chapter!: The liturgy of the Holy Sepulchre 40-58 - Manuscripts from Jerusalem 58-64 - Manuscripts from Acre 64-87 - Manuscripts from Cyprus 88-99 - Chapter 2: Manuscripts from European Templar houses 100-117 - Chapter 3: Manuscripts and Early Printed Books from European Hospitaller houses 118-129 - Chapter 4: Liturgical analysis 130-170 - Bibliography I 171-224 - Liturgical Manuscripts 171-176 - Liturgical Early Printed Books 177-178 - Non Liturgical Manuscript Sources 178-179 - Printed Sources 180-185 - Secondary Sources 185-224 VOLUME II - Appendix 1: Catalogue of manuscripts from the Hoiy Sepulchre 225-347 - Appendix 2: Catalogue of European Templar Manuscripts 348-358 - Appendix 3: Inventory of European Hospitaller Manuscripts and Early Printed Books 359-400 - Appendix 4: Calendars of the Hoiy Sepulchre 40 1-449 - Appendix 5: List of Plates 450 Plates 451-464 4 ACKNOWLEDGMENTS I would like to acknowledge the financial help of the British Academy, the Central Research Fund of the University of London, and the Humanities Research Committee of King's College, London. 5 BIBLIOGRAPHY OF OFTEN CITED WORKS AH Analecta hymnica mcdii aevi, ed.

  • The Antiphonary of Bangor and Its Musical Implications
    The Antiphonary of Bangor and its Musical Implications by Helen Patterson A thesis submitted in conformity with the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Graduate Department of Music University of Toronto © Copyright by Helen Patterson 2013 The Antiphonary of Bangor and its Musical Implications Helen Patterson Doctor of Philosophy Graduate Department of Music University of Toronto 2013 Abstract This dissertation examines the hymns of the Antiphonary of Bangor (AB) (Antiphonarium Benchorense, Milan, Biblioteca Ambrosiana C. 5 inf.) and considers its musical implications in medieval Ireland. Neither an antiphonary in the true sense, with chants and verses for the Office, nor a book with the complete texts for the liturgy, the AB is a unique Irish manuscript. Dated from the late seventh-century, the AB is a collection of Latin hymns, prayers and texts attributed to the monastic community of Bangor in Northern Ireland. Given the scarcity of information pertaining to music in early Ireland, the AB is invaluable for its literary insights. Studied by liturgical, medieval, and Celtic scholars, and acknowledged as one of the few surviving sources of the Irish church, the manuscript reflects the influence of the wider Christian world. The hymns in particular show that this form of poetical expression was significant in early Christian Ireland and have made a contribution to the corpus of Latin literature. Prompted by an earlier hypothesis that the AB was a type of choirbook, the chapters move from these texts to consider the monastery of Bangor and the cultural context from which the manuscript emerges. As the Irish peregrini are known to have had an impact on the continent, and the AB was recovered in ii Bobbio, Italy, it is important to recognize the hymns not only in terms of monastic development, but what they reveal about music.

Author: Weston, Jennifer Ann Title: The Spirit of the Page: Books and Readers at the Abbey of Fécamp, c. 1000-1200 Issue Date: 2015-03-10 Chapter 5 Books for Selective Reading at Fécamp The presence of navigational reading aids in eighteen manuscripts from the Fécamp corpus are suggestive of a reader who needed to locate specific chapters of the book, and, therefore, indicate a mode of reading that was different from the comprehensive approach of lectio divina. The present chapter aims to find an appropriate context of use for these navigational reading aids in the Benedictine monastery. Over the course of this chapter, I examine three book-types from the Fécamp corpus that contain reading aids: Giant Bibles, Gospel Books, and patristic texts. Moreover, I identify three settings where these books (equipped with navigation) would have been used: during the celebration of the liturgy (the Mass and Divine Office), during meal-time reading in the refectory, and during the evening gathering of Collation. Indeed, just as the Fécamp scribes designed many of their books to suit the practice of lectio divina (as shown in Part One of this study), it seems that they also custom-designed some of their books to accommodate a second mode of devotional reading. ! ! 1. Bibles with Navigation There are two Giant Bibles from the Fécamp corpus that include navigational reading aids: Rouen 1 and Rouen 7. As noted in the previous chapter, both books are presented in a large format and each contain a large collection of books from the Old and New Testament: Rouen 1 contains all but the Gospels, and Rouen 7 contains the Old Testament and the Gospels.1 The presence of navigational reading aids in these two Bibles (in the form of chapter tables and running titles) suggest that both of these volumes were designed to support searching and finding throughout the volume.

  • What Is the Roman Missal?
    Roman Missal Bulletin Insert Series #1 WHAT IS THE ROMAN MISSAL? Book of the Gospels (Evangeliary) for the scripture readings, and additional books for the chants and antiphons. Slight changes and additions developed as manuscripts were handed on and hand scribed. Eventually the chants, scripture readings, prayer texts, and instructions were compiled into a single volume, the Missale Plenum (complete Missal). When Johannes Gutenberg invented the movable printing press in 1470, this allowed the Mass texts to become standardized and published universally. In 1474, the first Missale Romanum (Roman Missal) was printed in Latin and the texts contained in this volume evolved over the five ensuing centuries. Because the amount of scripture proclaimed at Mass increased following the Second Vatican Council (1962-1965), the Missal was divided into two separate books so that its size would not be overwhelming. The Sacramentary contained the instructions (rubrics), the prayers (the Gloria, the Creed, the Eucharistic Prayer, the Our Father, etc.), Over the past several months, you may have and the chants and dialogues (the entrance heard a lot about the revised translation of antiphons, The Lord be with you, etc.). The The Roman Missal. Some may be wondering, Lectionary contained the readings for ―What is The Roman MissaI and how does Sundays, Feast Days and weekdays. It is this new translation affect me?‖ the former of these books, the Sacramentary First of all, it is important to note that the that has been retranslated. With this structure of the Mass is not changing. The translation, the name of the book will change Biblical readings will not change either, but from The Sacramentary to The Roman some of the prayers we say (and sing) and Missal, a translation of the Latin title, the prayers the priest says will be changed Missale Romanum.

  • ABOUT the Middle of the Thirteenth Century the Dean and Chapter of St
    XIII.—Visitations of certain Churches in the City of London in the patronage of St. Paul's Cathedral Church, between the years 1138 and 1250. By W. SPARROW SIMPSON, D.D., Sub-Dean and Librarian of St. Paul's. Read January 16, 1896. ABOUT the middle of the thirteenth century the Dean and Chapter of St. Paul's Cathedral Church made a minute and careful visitation of churches in their gift, lying in the counties of Essex, Hertfordshire, and Middlesex. The text of that visitation has been lately printed in a volume issued by the Camden Society.'1 The record of their proceedings is so copious that a clear and distinct account can be given of the ornaments, vestments, books, and plate belonging to these churches; and some insight can be gained into the relations which existed between the parishioners, the patrons, and the parish priest. The visitations now for the first time printed are not so full and ample as could be desired. But so little authentic information is to be gathered about the furniture and ornaments of churches in the city of London at this very early period, that even these brief records may be acceptable to antiquaries. The manuscript from which these inventories have been transcribed is one of very high importance. Mr. Maxwell Lyte describes it as " a fine volume, of which the earlier part was written in the middle of the twelfth century," and he devotes about eighteen columns of closely-printed matter to a calendar of its contents illustrated by very numerous extracts." The book is known as Liber L, and the most important portions of it are now in print.

  • The General Instruction of the Roman Missal Introduction
    THE GENERAL INSTRUCTION OF THE ROmAN mISSAL INTRODUCTION 1. As christ the Lord was about to celebrate with the disciples the paschal supper in which he insti- tuted the Sacrifice of hisb ody and blood, he commanded that a large, furnished upper room be prepared (Lk 22:12). indeed, the church has always judged that this command also applied to herself whenever she decided about things related to the disposition of people’s minds, and of places, rites and texts for the celebration of the Most holy eucharist. the present norms, too, prescribed in keeping with the will of the Second vatican council, together with the new Missal with which the church of the roman rite will henceforth celebrate the Mass, are again a demonstration of this same solicitude of the church, of her faith and her unaltered love for the supreme mystery of the eucharist, and also attest to her continu- ous and consistent tradition, even though certain new elements have been introduced. Testimony of an Unaltered Faith 2. The sacrificial nature of the Mass, solemnly defended by thec ouncil of trent, because it accords with the universal tradition of the church,1 was once more stated by the Second vatican council, which pronounced these clear words about the Mass: “at the Last Supper, our Savior instituted the eucharistic Sacrifice of his body and blood, by which the Sacrifice of his cross is perpetuated until he comes again; and till then he entrusts the memorial of his Death and resurrection to his beloved spouse, the church.”2 What is taught in this way by the council is consistently expressed in the formulas of the Mass.

  • THE DISSEMINATION and RECEPTION of the ORDINES ROMANI in the CAROLINGIAN CHURCH, C.750-900
    THE DISSEMINATION AND RECEPTION OF THE ORDINES ROMANI IN THE CAROLINGIAN CHURCH, c.750-900 Arthur Robert Westwell Queens’ College 09/2017 This dissertation is submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy 2 Arthur Robert Westwell Thesis Summary: The Dissemination and Reception of the Ordines Romani in the Carolingian Church, c.750- 900. The ordines romani are products of a ninth-century attempt to correct liturgy across Europe. Hitherto, scholarship has almost exclusively focused on them as sources for the practices of the city of Rome, narrowly defined, disregarding how they were received creatively and reinterpreted in a set of fascinating manuscripts which do not easily fit into traditional categories. This thesis re- envisages these special texts as valuable testimonies of intent and principle. In the past few decades of scholarship, it has been made very clear that what occurred under the Carolingians in the liturgy did not involve the imposition of the Roman rite from above. What was ‘Roman’ and ‘correct’ was decided by individuals, each in their own case, and they created and edited texts for what they needed. These individuals were part of intensive networks of exchange, and, broadly, they agreed on what they were attempting to accomplish. Nevertheless, depending on their own formation, and the atmosphere of their diocese, the same ritual content could be interpreted in numerous different ways. Ultimately, this thesis aims to demonstrate the usefulness of applying new techniques of assessing liturgical manuscripts, as total witnesses whose texts interpret each other, to the ninth century. Each of the ordo romanus manuscripts of the ninth century preserves a fascinating glimpse into the process of working out what ‘correct’ liturgy looked like, by people intensely invested in that proposition.

  • PRO PERFIDIS JUDAEIS JOHN M. OESTERREICHER Mankattanville College of the Sacred Heart
    PRO PERFIDIS JUDAEIS JOHN M. OESTERREICHER Mankattanville College of the Sacred Heart f\N GOOD Friday, the Church solemnly intercedes for all within and ^ without her fold. Among her petitions is one for the Jewish people. Oremus et pro perfidis Judaeis: ut Deus et Dominus noster auf erat velamen de cordibus eorum; ut et ipsi agnoscant Jesum Christum Dominum nostrum. Non respondetur Amen, nee dicitur Oremus, aut Flectamus genua, aut Levate, sed statim dicitur: Omnipotens sempiterne Deus, qui etiam Judaicam perfidìam a tua misericordia non repellis: exaudí preces nostras, quas pro illiuspopuli obcaecatione deferimus; ut, agnita veritatis tuae luce, quae Christus est, a suis tenebris eruantur. Per eumdem Dominum. Amen. This is the text given in the Roman Missal. Two problems arise in regard to this prayer: the meaning of perfidia and perfidus, and the significance of the rubric directing certain omissions. THE MEANING OF "PERFIDIA" The St. Andrew Missal in its 1927 edition reads: "Let us pray for the perfidious Jews"; in the edition of 1943, this is changed to: "Let us pray for the faithless Jews." Father Lasance's Missal of 1935 speaks of the "unfaithful Jews" and of "Jewish faithlessness." The Missal of Fathers Callan and McHugh gives in all editions the render­ ing "perfidious Jews." Father Stedman's Lenten Missal {1941) translates: "Let us pray for the unbelieving Jews." It is our contention that perfidus denotes neither "perfidious" nor "faithless" nor "unfaithful" in their present connotations, but "un­ believing" or "disbelieving." The liturgy does not pass moral judg­ ments, nor would it label the Jews "treacherous" or "wicked." In saying perfidia judaica, the Church mourns Israel's disbelief in Christ, holding that from Abraham's children, least of all, would one expect Isuch refusal of faith.
