The long-awaited new translation of the Book of Common Prayer.
Based on modern translation principles, this newly authorized
translation of the Book of Common Prayer contains Spanish-language
liturgical materials for use in the Episcopal Church. A monumental
liturgical and literary work is available in an accessible Spanish
translation. Created using dynamic equivalence, with an eye toward
inclusive language throughout, the translation supports the
liturgical and pastoral needs of Spanish-speaking Episcopalians.
This hardcover edition is designed for use in churches, with a
sturdy binding and cover.
This collection of ten essays constitutes the proceedings of a
two-day conference held at Harvard in October 2007. The conference
focused on three medieval manuscripts of Ambrosian chant owned by
Houghton Library. The Ambrosian liturgy and its music, practiced in
and around medieval Milan, were rare regional survivors of the
Catholic Church s attempt to adopt a universal Roman liturgy and
the chant now known as Gregorian. Two of the manuscripts under
scrutiny had been recently acquired (one perhaps the oldest
surviving source of Ambrosian music), and the third manuscript,
long held among the Library s collections of illuminated
manuscripts, had been newly identified as Ambrosian.
The generously illustrated essays gathered here represent the
work of established experts and younger scholars. Together they
explore the manuscripts as physical objects and place them in their
urban and historical contexts, as well as in the musical and
ecclesiastical context of Milan, Italy, and medieval Europe.
