'the highest matter in the noblest form' John Donne's description
of the Psalms celebrates not only the perfection of the biblical
psalms but their translation into poetic form by the Sidneys, who
turned them into some of the most accomplished lyric poems of the
English Renaissance. Although it was not printed until the
nineteenth century, the Sidney Psalter was widely read in
manuscript and influenced poets from Donne and Herbert to Milton
and beyond. It turned these well-known and well-loved Psalms into
sophisticated verse, selecting or inventing a different stanza form
for each one. This variety of forms matches the appeal of their
content: there are Psalms of praise and blame, Psalms of cursing
and lamentation, Psalms of joy and exaltation, Psalms that recount
history, and Psalms that describe Creation or divine law. This is
the first complete edition of the Psalter for over forty years. The
Psalms are provided in an authoritative modernized text, with
helpful glosses and notes illuminating points of interpretation,
and an introduction setting the Psalms in their literary and
cultural contexts. ABOUT THE SERIES: For over 100 years Oxford
World's Classics has made available the widest range of literature
from around the globe. Each affordable volume reflects Oxford's
commitment to scholarship, providing the most accurate text plus a
wealth of other valuable features, including expert introductions
by leading authorities, helpful notes to clarify the text,
up-to-date bibliographies for further study, and much more.

darkness.
R.J. Urquhart provides the first systematic description of the
ceremonial of the Sarum Mass in 500 years. Using a variety of
sources, and tracing the Sarum rite and its occasional use from the
Act of Supremacy through to modern times, Urquhart has compiled a
volume that offers the best possible reconstruction and overview of
these profoundly beautiful rites from the liturgical treasury of
the Church. Urquhart considers Sarum in the light of Pope Benedict
XVI's groundbreaking apostolic constitution, Anglicanorum Coetibus,
and how this has reopened the question of the catholicity of part
of the Anglican patrimony. He also considers the impact of Pope
Benedict's Summorum Pontificum and its proposition that what was
sacred for earlier generations remains sacred now, arguing that
this supremely pastoral teaching calls for a more profound and
detailed study of the rite. Urquhart covers all aspects of the
ritual, beginning with an outline of the vessels, books and
vestments and then moving on to outline both Low and High Mass,
special forms, processions and blessings, and the ritual year.
Appendices cover the role of the laity, and offer an Ordo Missae
with simple rubrics.
