Fifth of 6 volumes.. The project to edit the Hyde Breviary was a
considerable one that was to occupy the HBS for a decade. Hyde
Abbey hadbeen founded alongside New Minster, Winchester un 965 by
St Ethelwold [c. 908-984], Bishop if Winchester, and a former Abbot
of Abingdon, with Abingdon Monks. In 1110 the community moved from
its cramped premises to Hyde Meadow, just outside the city walls.
The breviary MSS edited were most probably written during thre
abbacy of Symon de Kanings [1292-1304]. The Hyde Breviary is one of
a small number of surviving MS witneses to the form of the English
Benedictine breviary, supplemented by what Tolhurst thought was a
single surviving volume of a 1528 printed breviary or portiforium
of Abingdon. The Hyde relics were here cosen as the most typical
and informative. The Rawlinson and Gough MSS were written by
different scribes but on virtuallly indistinguishable vellum and
with illuminations from the same hand. Here they are collated with
survivg witnesses to the English Benedictine breviary of the
period. The final volume of the set is 'Introduction to the English
Monastic Breviaries', volume 80 in the series.
A guide to breviaries (monastic service books containing the Divine
Office) in late medieval England. During the Middle Ages, the
Divine Office, or daily round of prayers, formed the central focus
of the monastic life. The liturgical book which contained all the
prayers, hymns, etc. which were said at each office during the year
is the breviary. The present volume is widely acknowledged as the
best introduction available in English to the complex structure of
the Office. Initially the Benedictine Office is considered,
followed by an assessment of the numerous additions and alterations
which occured during the early medieval period. To conclude there
is a detailed discussion of the structure of various individual
offices in late medieval England as they are known from surviving
breviaries. Throughout, the language has been kept plain and
non-technical to make it accessible to all students of the middle
ages.
The Ordinal and Customary of Barking Abbey was written on the
instructions of Sibille Fenton, who was abbess from 1394 to 1419,
and the manuscript was presented to the abbey in 1404. The
liturgical usages regulated are almost entirely limited to the
functioning of the choir. The text is one of a number of liturgical
manuscripts which survive from Barking Abbey.

The Henry Bradshaw Society was established in 1890 in commemoration
of Henry Bradshaw, University Librarian in Cambridge and a
distinguished authority on early medieval manuscripts and
liturgies, who died in 1886. The Society was founded for the
editing of rare liturgical texts'; its principal focus is on the
Western (Latin) Church and its rites, and on the medieval period in
particular, from the sixth century to the sixteenth (in effect,
from the earliest surviving Christian books until the Reformation).
Liturgy was at the heart of Christian worship, and during the
medieval period the Christian Church was at the heart of Western
society. Study of medieval Christianity in its manifold aspects -
historical, ecclesiastical, spiritual, sociological - inevitably
involves study of its rites, and for that reason Henry Bradshaw
Society publications have become standard source-books for an
understanding of all aspects of the middle ages. Moreover, many of
the Society's publications have been facsimile editions, and these
facsimiles have become cornerstones of the science of palaeography.

Library, Harley MSS 4664, c. 1270], Ely Cathedral Priory [Cambridge
University Library, Ii.4.20 [c. 1275], Muchelny Abbey, Somerset
[London, British Library, Additional 43405-43506, c. 1280].1 The
only other non-fragmentary breviary is that of Barttle Abbey in
Sussex [Cambridge, Trinity College, MS O.7.31, c. 1500], but this
is probably an importation from Marmoutier, and hence is not
collated here.
