Print on Demand. This book traces the origin and evolution of the Latin Mass, one of the world’s oldest religious rituals. The author, Mgr. L. Duchesne, examines the development of the liturgy in the West from the fourth to the ninth century, continuing the work of previous authors on the subject. Duchesne draws on ancient texts, examining the relationship between the Roman and Gallican liturgies. He describes the rituals for ordination, baptism, and reconciliation, among others, in great detail, and explores the broader development of Christianity during this period. The author argues that the changes in these rituals reflect wider social, historical, and political developments, and contends that the evolution of the liturgy represents the development of the ecclesiastical hierarchy and the growth of Papal authority. The Latin Mass is one of the most important and enduring features of Christianity, and this book offers a fascinating glimpse into its origins. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book.…

Martens, particularly in that which concerns the ritual of ordination and the dedication of churches. It is, however, specially to the Roman Liturgy that I have directed my researches. Its history is clearly more interesting to us than that of any other, since for centuries it has been the only liturgy of the West.
Although I have not hesitated, when I found it pomible, to go back earlier than the fourth century, I have, however, for the most part, confined myself to a less remote chronological period. Attention might be called to very interesting liturgical facts in docu ments anterior to the time of Constantine, but they are isolated facts, and the documents are few, and rarelyand the ancient usages. Such explanations would be interminable. The same may be said of questions, having a direct or indirect theological import, arising from the consideration of certain rites, such, for instance, as the epiclesis of the Mass, the reconciliation of penitents, and ordination. These questions have been carefully discussed by specialists, but in large works commensurate with the importance of the subject and beyond the scope of the task I have undertaken. If at times, when lecturing to an audience previously well prepared, I have been able to offer some solutions of these questions, in furnish ing explanations of technicalities and in referring to other writers, these were episodes which I consider out of place in the present work, where it would be impossible to elaborate them in such a way as to make them clear to the ordinary reader.
When once I had resolved to restrict myself solely to the domain of history, it appeared incumbent upon me to avoid a special theological terminology. Not that I ignore such terminology, or do not recognise its utility, but, having no other aim in describing very ancient usages than to represent them as they were practised from the fourth to the eighth century, it seemed best not to speak of them in more precise language than was in use at that date.
