  • 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.

  • The Four-Fold Gospel
    The Four-Fold Gospel Author(s): McGarvey, J. W. Publisher: Grand Rapids, MI: Christian Classics Ethereal Library Description: This mixture of gospel harmony (a comparison of identical stories from each of the gospels, placed in chronological or- der) and commentary (a verse-by-verse analysis of a pas- sage) by John William McGarvey is a highly technical but incomparably useful guide to the biblical Gospels. McGarvey, a serious student of the Bible and author of many other commentaries, is at his best here in the unique blend. Users should be sure to read the introductory sections in order to understand the abbreviations, symbols, and set-up of the volume to avoid confusion and to get optimal use from the source. This reference is a wonderful expansion of Gospel commentaries, and is one of the only books of its kind.

Available at: http://scholarship.claremont.edu/lux/vol3/iss1/6 Haygood: 'Gospel of Thomas' Haygood 1 The Battle to Authenticate “The Gospel of Thomas” Lisa Haygood Fullerton College Abstract Many early Christian sects were aware of and accepted The Gospel of Thomas as authentic Christian scripture, despite its unorthodox, radical doctrine, igniting an ideological battle in and around the Thomasine communities of the ancient world. This ideological war is still raging and conflict renewed and amplified with the discoveries of the Greek and Coptic texts of The Gospel of Thomas in the first half of the 20th Century. Since its discovery, The Gospel of Thomas has presented scholars with ferocious debate, as serious probability exists that Thomas preserves an older tradition of the historical Jesus than that of the Synoptic Gospels. Though the fierce theological battle of religious scholars in the 1990s hardly sparked The Gospel of Thomas debate, their combined research has renewed questions of how to validate Thomas, and thus, Jesus scholarship over the last half century has been restrained in the use and acceptance of Thomas.

  • Chapter 3 an Outline of Jesus' Life
    Christ in the Gospels John A. Battle, Th.D. Western Reformed Seminary (www.wrs.edu) CHAPTER 3 AN OUTLINE OF JESUS’ LIFE: HARMONIZING THE GOSPELS Assumptions of Harmonization Assume that each gospel is true, including statements of time, sequence, circumstances, etc. Recognize that when such statements are absent, the writer may have rearranged his material for a theological or literary purpose. Distinguish which parallel accounts describe the same events from those which describe similar but separate events. o Similar events probably occurred often, as Jesus moved from place to place. Likewise, he probably gave the same parables, discourses, teachings, and sayings on numerous occasions. o On the other hand, the gospel writers often quote Jesus loosely or indirectly. They maintain the thoughts Jesus intended to convey, but from their perspective. Therefore, the same event or speech may be reported differently in different gospels. Examples of Harmonization Tatian’s Diatessaron Ca. A.D. 160 Tatian was a Syrian from Mesopotamia, a rhetorician. He was converted in Rome by Justin Martyr, ca. A.D. 150, and became his pupil and disciple. Near the end of his life Tatian became an ascetic, and taught that Christians should abstain from meat, wine (and grape juice), 3.1 and marriage. His followers were called Encratites, and continued up to the 5th century. Finally Tatian became something close to a Gnostic. He died ca. A.D. 170. Tatian wrote a good apology for Christianity, called To the Greeks. He also wrote his combined version of the four gospels, called the Diatessaron (dia + tessaron = “through the four”).

  • Celtic Chant | Grove Music
    Celtic chant Ann Buckley https://doi.org/10.1093/gmo/9781561592630.article.05266 Published in print: 20 January 2001 Published online: 2001 The liturgical chant sung by the Churches of the Celtic-speaking peoples of the Middle Ages before they conformed to the unitas catholica of the Roman Church. 1. Historical background. The liturgical practices observed in Christian worship by Celtic-speaking peoples were developed in monastic communities in Ireland, Scotland, Cumbria, Wales, Devon, Cornwall and Brittany. However, Celtic influence was also evident in certain areas controlled by the Anglo-Saxons, such as Northumbria, and extended to the Continent through the efforts of Irish missionaries during the 6th and 7th centuries. Chief among these last was St Columbanus (c543–615), founder of the monasteries of Luxeuil and Bobbio. His followers spread the customs of the Columbanian abbeys throughout centres in what are now France, Belgium, Germany, Austria, Switzerland, Italy and Spain. Several of the most important sources for the early Celtic liturgy are associated with the Columbanian foundations in Gaul. It is somewhat misleading to refer to ‘the Celtic Church’, since there was no single, uniform institution under central authority, and medieval Celtic-speaking Christians never considered themselves ‘Celtic’ in the sense of belonging to a national group, although an awareness of common purpose may be said to have existed for a brief period during the late 6th century and the early 7th. Nonetheless, the term serves as a useful way of classifying regional and cultural distinctiveness, by identifying what was essentially a network of monastic communities that shared a similar kind of structure and between whom there was regular, sometimes close, contact.
