This combines in one volume the original facsimile in the Royal Irish Academy (HBS XXXI) with the editor's useful edition and commentary (HBS XXXII). The Missal is one of the most famous Irish manuscripts to survive the Middle Ages and an important witness to the early Irish Church.
Edition of rare surviving litanies from the middle ages, providing evidence for monastic worship.
This breviary was printed by Antonius Goin at Antwerp in September 1537; the first recension appeared in 1535, but the second is the forerunner of over a hundred subsequent editions before it was suppressed in 1558 by Pope Paul IV. It influenced Cranmer's liturgical projects, for which see volume 50 in the present series.
The earliest liturgical book to have survived from Anglo-Saxon England and a crucial witness to an important early phase of English Christianity.
Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made available for future generations to enjoy.
The text is a translation done into English for use in the Brigittine monastery of Syon by the priest Richard Whitford [fl. 1495-1555?], the "wretche of Syon", as he often signed himself, a well known translator and compiler of devotional texts in the vernacular. It was printed by de Worde {STC 17532] "for the edifacacyon of certayn religyous persones vnlerned, that dayly dyd rede the same martiloge in latyn, not vnderstandynge what they redde". The English text follows in essence the text represented by the Latin Syon martyrology, London, British Library, Adiditional MS 22285, but from a different, more correct copy which contained additional entries. Additional MS 22285, was devised for the male Brigittine community, but was conserved in exile by the female community until 1809, when it was sold to the Earl of Shrewsbury. The "additions" mentioned are not liturgical in character, but are somewhat careless gleanings form Jacobo de Voragine's 'Legenda Aurea', Petrus de Natalibus, 'Catalogus Sanctoreum', and a work 'Sanctilogium Salvatoris', all employed so as to furnish a devotional rather than a liturgical text in the vernacular, The reference to Salisbury {Sarum] in the title of the printed volume is explained by the fact that Syon was founded in 1415, the year after the London diocese [in which the monastery was situated] adopted the Sarum Use, and that the Brigittine custom was to follow the local use, It would seem doubtful that a uniform Sarum martyology ever really existed. In this edition readings are collated from the Latin martyrology to be found in a Sarum breviary in London, British Library, Harley MS 2785. On a broader view, the Syon martyorology followed a rather corrupt text of Usuard with numerous variations and interpolations.
This manuscript, of disputed provenance, possibly dates from the beginning of the eighth century and was for use in Eastern France, probably at Autun. It was written in some important centre where Luxeuil script was used.
Despite the title, the volume is in fact largely concerned with various forms of the Ordo Missae, or Ordinary of the Mass, including the vesting prayers and rubrical framework. Eleven items are edited: I. Ordinary from a MS Sarum Missal c. 1320 (the Morris or Tiptoft Missal), now Pierpont Morgan Library, New York, JamesPM n. 8. II. B. Langforde, 'Meditacyons for goostly exercyse. In the tyme of the masse', 15th-16th centuries. III. Alphabetum Sacerdotum, printed by Jean Petit for Guy Marchant, Paris, 10 September 1499 . IV. Ordinary from Coutances Missal of 1557, Missale cunctis sacerdotibus iuxta Constancien diocesis institutum, [. .] Robert Valentin, Rouen, 1557 ( V. A Dominican Ordinary from London, British Library, Additional MS 23935, ff. 480-484 (c. 1260-1275). VI. A Carthusian Ordinary (late 15th, early 16th century) from London, British Library, Cotton MS Nero A.III, ff. 130-160. VII. 'Preparatio Sacerdotis', from an octavo edition of the Roman Missal published by Nicolaus de Frankfordia at Venice in 1493 VIII. Johannes Burchardus, [Ordo Missae], from edition published in 1502 at Rome by Johann Besicken. IX.

XI. Ordinary from a MS Sarum Missal of 13th century, now Manchester, John Rylands University Library, MS Lat. 24, ff. 147-155v.
This is the complete facsimile of the manuscript studied in volumes 53 and 58 of the present series. The Bobbio Missal is one of the most important and interesting liturgical books surviving from the early middle ages. It is the best known example of the `Gallican' type of missal, attesting therefore to the distinctive liturgical practices which were widespread in Merovingian and Frankish churches during the seventh and eighth centuries, before these began to tbe replaced by the Roman practices including use of `Gregorian' missals in various forms during the period of Charlemagne's reforms. In the opinion of modern palaeographers, the Bobbio Missal was written somewhere in northern Italy in the mid-eighth century. Although it was long regarded as a witness to Irish liturgical practice, it is now considered as essentially Gallican, but incorporating various prayers of Gelasian origin. Palaeographically the manuscript (now Paris, Bibliotheque Nationale, lat. 13246) is of great interest, being written in an idiosyncratic mixture of uncial and minuscule, by an Italian scribe neither literate nor well-trained.
First of 6 volumes. The project to edit the Hyde Breviary was a considerable one that was to occupy the HBS for a decade. Hyde Abbey hadbeen founded alongside New Minster, Winchester un 965 by St Ethelwold [c. 908-984], Bishop if Winchester, and a former Abbot of Abingdon, with Abingdon Monks. In 1110 the community moved from its cramped premises to Hyde Meadow, just outside the city walls. The breviary MSS edited were most probably written during thre abbacy of Symon de Kanings [1292-1304]. The Hyde Breviary is one of a small number of surviving MS witneses to the form of the English Benedictine breviary, supplemented by what Tolhurst thought was a single surviving volume of a 1528 printed breviary or portiforium of Abingdon. The Hyde relics were here cosen as the most typical and informative. The Rawlinson and Gough MSS were written by different scribes but on virtuallly indistinguishable vellum and with illuminations from the same hand. Here they are collated with survivg witnesses to the English Benedictine breviary of the period. The sixth volume of the set is 'Introduction to the English Monastic Breviaries', volume 80 in the series.

It is well known that St Bernard in 1147 revised the monastic hymnal for the use of his Cistercian monks; the anonymous "Explanatio" is primary evidence for the content of Bernard's hymnal. This title presents a commentary that is based on a manuscript written at Clairvaux in the late 12th century.
