Record of liturgical observances at Canterbury in 11c, including valuable full record of the cult of saints there in the last days of the Anglo-Saxon church.

The edition gathers together fragments surviving in Lincoln, Cathedral Library MS 115 (A.5.5); Cambridge, St John's College, MS N. 1; Oxford, Bodleian Library, Digby 36 (SC 1678), f. 110v; Cambridge, Pembroke' College, MS 226.

Originally published in 1910, this book contains a study of the Eucharistic liturgy used by the Church in the first three hundred years of its existence. Woolley carefully examines the origins and development of the proanaphora and anaphora, and includes in an appendix the original Greek, Coptic, Ethiopic or Latin texts of many of the ancient witnesses of liturgical practice.
