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. This first volume contains the Temporal;
the remainder of the Ordinal, together with comprehensive indexes,
will form the second volume.DAVID CHADDteaches in the School of
