Edition of rare surviving litanies from the middle ages, providing
evidence for monastic worship. The litanies of the monastic orders
in England, above all those of the Benedictines, are key witnesses
of devotion to the saints of the British Isles, whose relics and
shrines were mostly in Benedictine abbeys and cathedral priories.
However, although many of the calendars of the Benedictines have
been published, litanies are more rare, and the majority of those
within this volume are presented as text editions for the first
time. The majority of the textsare Benedictine, but the few
surviving litanies from the other monastic orders, Carthusians,
Cistercians and Cluniacs, are included, and also those of the Order
of Fontevrault. This volume, the second of a set of three, contains
the litanies from the Cluniac Priory of Pontefract to York, St
Mary's Abbey. Nigel Morgan is Honorary Emeritus Professor of the
History of Art at the University of Cambridge and a Fellow of
Corpus Christi College.

Landscape Liturgies offers outdoor worship material drawn from
2,000 years of outdoor Christian practice. It contains prayers,
rituals, blessings and liturgies compiled from Anglican, Roman
Catholic, Methodist and Orthodox sources, as well as early church
material, the desert tradition and monastic spirituality. It
includes resources for the blessing of water courses, tree
planting, garden blessings, a wide range of churchyard ceremonies,
Rogation and other processionary ideas, field and animal blessings,
pilgrim and walking prayers, ceremonies at holy wells and sacred
grottoes, at hilltops and landmark monuments, and for the ringing
of bells which traditionally demarcated sacred space in the
landscape. This fascinating and versatile resource will enable
urban and rural churches and church schools, retreat houses and
pilgrimage centres to conduct a wide variety of services and
meditations in the landscape around them.
