Originally published in 1910, this book contains a study of the
Eucharistic liturgy used by the Church in the first three hundred
years of its existence. Woolley carefully examines the origins and
development of the proanaphora and anaphora, and includes in an
appendix the original Greek, Coptic, Ethiopic or Latin texts of
many of the ancient witnesses of liturgical practice along with an
English translation for texts not in Latin or Greek. This book will
be of great value to anyone with an interest in the history of
Christian liturgy from 'those centuries in which the Church was
more in touch than she ever has been since with the general life
and the every day needs of her members'.

Record of liturgical observances at Canterbury in 11c, including
valuable full record of the cult of saints there in the last days
of the Anglo-Saxon church. The benedictional was a bishop's book,
containing the prayers which only a bishop (or archbishop) could
pronounce when he said mass, characteristically a lavish
production. Several have survived from Anglo-Saxon England and
thesehave recently been attracting the attention of liturgists and
palaeographers. One of the most important is the `Canterbury
Benedictional', now London, British Library, Harley 2892, written
at Christ Church, Canterbury, around themiddle of the eleventh
century. The `Canterbury Benedictional' provides a valuable record
of liturgical observance at the seat of the English archbishop. In
particular, it gives a full record of the cult of saints at the
metropolitan see in the last days of the Anglo-Saxon church. The
Latin text is accompanied by an introduction and detailed
liturgical notes in which the relationships between the surviving
Anglo-Saxon benedictionals and their continental antecedents are
set out for the first time. The book will be of interest to
students of the medieval liturgy, and to historians of the
Anglo-Saxon church. First published 1917.

The MS book contains directions for the vesting of a bishop and the
singing of pontifical High Mass (ff. 1-21), and a collection of
episcopal blessings, mainly quadripartite (ff. 22-83). These latter
include a series elsewhere given under the name of Archbishop John
Peckham of Canterbury. While this manuscript is carelessly written,
there are some variant readings here, and there are corrections in
the hand of John Longelonde (1473-1547). The edition is of the
entire manuscript and collates with the text edited (poorly) by
Ralph Barnes (Liber Pontificalis of Edmund Lacy, W. Roberts,
Exeter, 1847), and with the unpublished Pontifical of Bishop
Anianus of Bangor (1267-1307) which is dated to 1279, and with the
Litlington Westminster Missal (edited as volume 1 of the present
series).
