Description
". . . if we are to understand the Roman rite properly, we must know something of its origins, history, and evolution . . . ," the author of this volume declares. His objective in this study is to discuss those portions of the liturgy which have not yet been presented in this series but which are essential to an understanding of Western rites.
Mr. Sheppard, who is editor of the English language edition of The Twentieth Century Encyclopedia of Catholicism, gives a full account of the Ambrosian rite because of its importance as an example of a Roman liturgy which has shown marked stability and which retains features which are essentially Gallic. A substantial discussion of the now-defunct Mozarabic rite is also included in order to present the pattern of the liturgy in the section of Europe north of the Alps and in Spain before the imposition of the Roman rite by Charlemagne.
This volume also discusses the Lyons and Braga liturgies; however, they are treated more briefly due to their similarity to the Roman rite. in an enlightening chapter on the monastic orders, the author compares the Carthusian, Cistercian, Premontratensian, and Carmelite rites. Three appendices have been added to complete the discussion of the Western liturgy: these deal with the neo-Gallican rites, the Sarum rites, and the Roman-Slavonic liturgy.
Lancelot Sheppard was formerly a school master at St. Edmund's College in Ware, England, and at College Campittet in Lausanne, Switzerland. He is the author of several books, including Guide to the Use of the Roman Breviary, The English Carmelites, Don Bosco, and Portrait of a Parish Priest. He has also translated many works, including The Case of Theresa Neumann (Hynek), Catholicism (de Lubac), and Memoirs of a Secret Agent of Free France and Portrait of a Spy (Remy). in The Twentieth Century Encyclopedia of Catholicism he has translated the following volumes: What is a Priest? (Volume 53) The Spirit of Worship (Volume 108) and History of the Mass (Volume 110).
Mr. Sheppard currently resides in Somerset, England.
This is Volume 111 under section X: The Worship of the Church.
