Product Description

Review
'..".her clear and largely accurate translation, detailed liturgical commentary, and excellent introduction constitute a major contribution to our understanding of Walahfrid's work.'
Michael W. Herren, "Speculum, 1999.


Product Description
The "Libellus" of the Carolingian monk, Walahfrid, presents a history of the Eucharistic liturgy, with particular reference to topics such as fasting, frequency of communion, and arrangement of sections of mass. Walahfrid also examines the origins of certain liturgical actions in baptism, traces the development of hymnography, and considers the etymology of various terms for church architecture. Walahfrid's explicit citation of sources should make his work of particular value to the modern historian. The commentary establishes the place of the language and argument in the development of early writings on the liturgy, while also relating it to the wider context of non-liturgical writings from the Fathers to the mid-ninth century. The author's detailed examinations of Walahfrid's sources - historical, legislative and literary - show the lines of transmission of texts and their availability in the Carolingian period.
