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.
