  • Mozarabic Chant
    Mozarabic chant Mozarabic chant (also known as Hispanic chant, itself until after 1014, at the request of the Holy Roman Old Hispanic chant, Old Spanish chant, or Visig- Emperor Henry II.) othic chant) is the liturgical plainchant repertory of the Visigothic/Mozarabic rite of the Roman Catholic Church, related to the Gregorian chant. It is primarily associated with Hispania under Visigothic rule (mainly in what was to become modern Spain) and with the Catholic Visigoths/Mozarabs living under Muslim rule, and was soon replaced by the chant of the Roman rite following the Christian Reconquest. Although its original medieval form is largely lost, a few chants have survived with read- able musical notation, and the chanted rite was later re- vived in altered form and continues to be used in a few isolated locations in Spain, primarily in Toledo.

  • The African Rite
    250 THE JOURNAL OF THEOLOGICAL STUDIES THE AFRICAN RITE. IT seems to be an accepted opinion with many ritualists that the African Liturgy and other services were akin to those of the Roman rite rather than to the Gallican or Mozarabic services; I need cite only Le Brun (Exposition de la Messe), Palmer ( Ongines Liturgicae), M one (Lateinische und griechz"sche Messen), Mgr Duchesne (On"gines du Culte chr!tien), and Mr C. Atchley (Ordo Romanus Pn"mus). And yet it appears to me that the point has been very inadequately argued. I had hoped for a full discussion of the subject in Dom Cabrol's Dictionnaire d'Archlologie chrltzenne et de Lz"turgze, and I must confess to a feeling of disappointment at finding that the learned author of the articles on Afn"que (Liturgic d') considers that the time is not yet ripe for a settlement of the question. Before applying ourselves to the point at issue it will be necessary to have a clear idea as to what we mean by an ancient rite or liturgy. 'Ve must form some conception of the actual condition of the services as they were used at the time when they flourished, and as they appeared to those who used them. Any conception that we may form will doubtless be imperfect and possibly even partially erroneous (at least in some details); but we cannot advance a step without drawing upon the 'scientific imagination ' so far as to frame a working hypothesis. The first point to be noticed is that there was no conscious division of the worship of Christendom into .different rites.

  • Mozarab Perseverance of Identity and Faith Amid Islam by Stephen Chappell
    Mozarab Perseverance of Identity and Faith Amid Islam By Stephen Chappell During the centuries of Muslim rule in medieval Spain most Christians converted to Islam. The vast majority of citizens living in al-Andalus became Muslim within a century of their invasion. But unlike in other Muslim conquered lands, a notable amount of Christians did not convert. This paper will seek to demonstrate why the Mozarab Christians of al-Andalus did not convert to Islam during the centuries of Muslim rule and dominance of the Iberian Peninsula. Despite the inconveniences and persecutions that befell those who did not seek conversion, there continued existing a significant number of non-Muslims living in al-Andalus. The main reasons why Mozarabs did not convert to Islam included often negative treatment of non-Arab Muslims, the influence from Muslim leaders on Christian bishops, the teachings of Christian leaders and polemic writings from other Christians, how Islam and Mozarabs viewed each other, and the way they identified themselves within the multi-cultural peninsula. The historiography of Mozarabs in medieval Spain has shifted over time according to popular fields of study. Mozarabs, as Aaron Michael Moreno describes them, are “individuals who can be identified at a most basic level as Christians with lineal roots in al-Andalus.”[1] Mozarabs defined under the current historiography are the descendants of the culturally Arabicizing Christians of al-Andalus.[2] In the late nineteenth and early twentieth century, Spain’s search for historical identity led historians to identify Mozarabs as the “candle bearers” of Spanish Catholic faith, which held strong under the Muslim conquest of the peninsula in 711.

Reynolds, Pontifical Institute of Mediaeval Studies During the past quarter century very few full or virtually full manuscripts written in the Beneventan script of southern Italy and Dalmatia have been discovered and reported. Most of the manuscripts reported since Lowe’s magisterial work2 on the script have been libelli, stray folios, fragments, and offsets.3 But two extraordinary full or virtually full manuscripts have recently come to light and have been reported. The first of these was put on auction a few years back by Sotheby’s in London.4 In their sale catalogue, the manuscript, described as coming from a private collection, was dated to the fifteenth century and the sale price was estimated at about GBP 4,000.

  • SHORT HISTORY of the ROMAN MASS by Michael Davies
    SHORT HISTORY OF THE ROMAN MASS by Michael Davies Table of Contents: Gradual Development of Ceremonies The End of Persecutions The Gallican Rite The Origins of the Roman Rite and its Liturgical Books The Canon of the Mass Dates from the 4th Century The Reform of St. Gregory the Great Eastern and Gallican Additions to the Roman Rite A Sacred Heritage Since the 6th Century The Reform of Pope St. Pius V Not a New Mass Revisions after 1570 Our Ancient Liturgical Heritage GRADUAL DEVELOPMENT OF CEREMONIES Although there was considerable liturgical uniformity in the first two centuries there was not absolute uniformity. Liturgical books were certainly being used by the middle of the 4th century, and possibly before the end of the third, but the earliest surviving texts date from the seventh century, and musical notation was not used in the west until the ninth century when the melodies of Gregorian chant were codified. The only book known with certainty to have been used until the fourth century was the Bible from which the lessons were read. Psalms and the Lord's Prayer were known by heart, otherwise the prayers were extempore. There was little that could be described as ceremonial in the sense that we use the term today. Things were done as they were done for some practical purpose. The lessons were read in a loud voice from a convenient place where they could be heard, and bread and wine were brought to the altar at the appropriate moment. Everything would evidently have been done with the greatest possible reverence, and gradually and naturally signs of respect emerged, and became established customs, in other words liturgical actions became ritualized.

  • The Renewal of the Ambrosian and the Hispano-Mozarabic Liturgy After the Second Vatican Council
    „Ruch Biblijny i Liturgiczny” 66 (2013) nr 3 REV. TOMASZ BAĆ The Renewal of the Ambrosian and the Hispano-Mozarabic Liturgy after the Second Vatican Council The renewal of the liturgy and its general reform made after the Second Vatican Council generally concerns the Roman Rite, which all instruc- tions of the Constitution on the Sacred Liturgy Sacrosanctum Concilium refer to. The conciliar fathers were well aware of the fact that there is a need for renewing other rites and traditions existing in the Church.1 In the introduction to the first conciliar constitution it was stated that: “In faithful obedience to tradition, the sacred Council declares that holy Mother Church holds all lawfully acknowledged rites to be of equal right and dignity; that she wishes to preserve them in the future and to foster them in every way. The Council also desires that, where necessary, the rites be revised carefully in the light of sound tradition, and that they be given new vigor to meet the circumstances and needs of modern times” (Constitution Sacrosanctum Concilium, 4). In the Latin Church, from among many local rites which, throughout centuries and alongside the Roman Rite, served as evidence of the rich- ness of the Christian liturgy, tradition and culture, only two rites were 1 In the context of liturgy renewal after the Second Vatican Council the terms “rite” and “liturgy” may be considered to be synonyms, although their meaning is not, in fact, identical; cf. A. M. Triacca, La Liturgia ambrosiana, [in:] La Liturgia: panorama storico generale, Genova 2002, p. 88 (Anàmnesis, 2).

  • Abbreviated Chicago Style Booklet
    An ABBREVIATED GUIDE to Chicago and Religion & Literature Style Prepared by Katie Bascom and Vienna Wagner 2015 A Note on this Guide Here you’ll find helpful excerpts from The Chicago Manual of Style as well as discussion of the Religion & Literature House Style sheet, which should provide the necessary foundation to begin editorial work on the journal. While you’ll, no doubt, find it necessary to frequently consult the online style guide, this abbreviation covers some of the problem areas for those new to Chicago style and the R&L style sheet. Though The Chicago Manual of Style includes treatments of general usage issues, its citation and documentation system proves most daunting to new editors. Further, Religion & Literature modifies Chicago documentation practices with an eye toward brevity, concision, and aesthetic appeal. Consequently, this guide devotes most of its attention to practices such as the shortened endnote plus bibliography citation style. In general, Chicago style considers the documentation of material cited in-text the primary function of the endnote system because endnotes can provide documentation without interfering with the reading experience. Therefore, Chicago discourages discursive endnotes. Every system has its drawbacks, of course, but, properly executed, the Chicago/R&L style creates clean, well-documented essays free from cumbersome in-text apparatus. Basically, the reader shouldn’t need to read the endnotes unless the reader needs to track down the sources, and the citation system makes it clear, early on, that little more than such information will be found there. In addition to the endnote/bibliography citation style, Chicago downstyle consistently proves confusing to new editors.
