Second of two-volume edition of twelfth-century Ordinal from
Fecamp, giving a detailed view of monastic liturgy. The abbey of
Fecamp, reformed in the early years of the eleventh century by
William of Volpiano, abbot of St-Benigne at Dijon, was a key
institution in the development of Norman monasticism in the middle
ages. As one of the most energetic monastic reformers of his time,
William was noted for the attention he paid to the liturgy of the
many abbeys he superintended, and his liturgical cursus was
influential in English and continental monastic houses. The Fecamp
Ordinal, edited here from a manuscript of the early thirteenth
century, but transmitting the liturgy observed in the abbey some
two centuries earlier, is the first complete source of William's
liturgical work tobe printed. It is expanded by readings from
complementary Fecamp service books, creating a text which gives a
particularly detailed view of medieval monastic liturgy. The first
volume contains the Temporale; this volume contains the remainder
of the Ordinal (Sanctorale, Commune Sanctorum and Miscellanea),
together with comprehensive indexes. DAVID CHADD teaches in the
School of Music at the University of East Anglia.
