the present edition is based is a Pontifical from the end of the 11th century; the most important witness to the archaic period and early de- velopment of the chief medieval Hungarian ritual variant, the so-called Use of Esz- tergom (Strigonian Use). It contains the order of diocesan synods, the degradation from, and restitution to, the different ranks of Holy Orders, excommunication and reconciliation, special ceremonies of the liturgical year, and the sacraments of Pen- ance and Anointing. As to its origin, there is no direct historical evidence but its li- turgical content clearly identifies it as a source proper to the cathedral of Esztergom. Evidence shows that by the beginning of the 13th century it was certainly used at the cathedral of Zagreb. It seems reasonable then to suppose that soon after it was writ- ten, around the last years of the 11th century, it was taken from Esztergom to Zagreb where it is still preserved in the Knjižnica Metropolitana or Metropolitanska Knjižnica, the Library of Zagreb Cathedral under the library code MR 165. In Hungarian scientific literature, due to the uncertainty regarding the exact genre it represents and because the name of a certain bishop Chartvirgus is specifically mentioned in it, the book is known either as the Agenda of Hartwick or simply Agenda Pontificalis. Accordingly, I will henceforth refer to it with the siglum H. At the outset I feel compelled to rebut a few false, or at least implausible, hypotheses which for decades have been considered established facts by some of the studies on the subject. Among these hypotheses primarily the following should be mentioned: the provenance of H from the city of Győr, its purportedly mixed genre, and the ori- gin of the Hungarian ritual usages from Northern France. The significance of H may be summarised in two short statements: (1) From the perspective of Hungarian liturgical history the H is the first source whose material remains a stable feature in the process of transmission all the way to the 16th century. By analysing its ceremonies, it is easily discernible what was changed or preserved by the Hungarian ritual usages, that is, one can identify the ac- cidental, variable elements and what may be considered specific either to the King- dom of Hungary or to a certain period. It can also be determined whether the varia- tions in our later sources are of a historical or regional origin, and in the final analy- sis, when and how, that is, in which ecclesiastical centres, using what sources, and under what kind of cultural, socio-political impulses was the body of Hungarian rit- ual variants, or more closely the Use of Esztergom, formed. (2) From the perspective of universal liturgical history the Use of Esztergom is of paradigmatic significance. This, and the ritual family of Hungarian usages organised around it, is the only liturgical variant in the whole of Europe which remained essen- tially unified all throughout its extensive territory for 600 years. Its origin and expan- sion was a result of a well-organised effort in a large region without any pre-existent ecclesiastical structures. The H is the first representative source for the Hungarian 4 Introduction ritual use. It stands very close to the supposed beginnings of the usage; its concept is all-encompassing and cohesive. The continuity of its characteristics with Hungarian traditions of later origin is obvious, while these characteristics cannot be deduced from the traditions of any other parts of Europe. Hence the H provides an insight into the formation of a ritual use in statu nas- cendi: in a supple, plastic state when learned ecclesiastics, endowed with impressive knowledge of the contemporary practice and variations of the Roman Rite, were able to create a fresh and ambitious tradition with good taste and evident ingenuity, al- ways maintaining respect for its essentially Roman features, while never curbing their own creativity.

  • 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.

The writer makes constant reference to other compilations of his own : de montibus, de ciuitatibus, de sectis hereticorum, de sectis philosophorum, de arboribus, de lapidibus et gemmis etc. etc. The work is a portion of the Fons Memorabilium Universi of Domenico di Bandino d' Arezzo (d. circa 1413): a huge compilation in five parts, of which this is the fifth: never printed. See Tiraboschi VI 713. In the book is a rough draft of a letter to a Dominus Johannes, dated "ex granata ciuitate florentissima ydibus sextilibus" by " tuus Ihouanes pagol." The writer of it has heard that he has been reported dead, and begs that the rumour may be contradicted. The last article is on Lupus episcopus. An article which suffices to identify the work is that on Bandinus of Arezzo, the author's father. A long account of the work is given by L. Menus1, I cxxx sqq.

ABBOT OF DOWNSIDE DEAR ABBOT FORD, I esteem it a privilege to dedicate this book to you. It was entirely due to your support and encouragement that I was able, ten years ago, to begin the work of reviving, on anything like a large scale, the forgotten music of our English Catholic forefathers, and to restore to the Church in their original Latin form, compositions which since 1641 had only appeared in English dress. And it was to your support, as Head of a great Abbey, that it became possible to restore these works under almost the same ideal conditions which obtained in the old days—in a Monastery Church with its school attached, where daily Mass and Office were said; and where the life of the Church was lived from day to day, by monk and scholar, in the quiet seclusion of the Mendip Hills, far from the hurry of roaring towns. It is, moreover, specially fitting that this revival should have taken place at Downside, since the Downside Benedictine monks are the same identical community—without a break in the chain of their continuity — who served Westminster Abbey in the old time before the dissolution of the monasteries.
