Book Description
Excerpt from A Menology of England and Wales; Or Brief Memorials of the Ancient British and English Saints, 1887: Arranged According to the Calendar, Together With the Martyrs of the 16th and 17th Centuries The present work has been written, in conformity with instructions received from the Bishops, on occasion of their annual Conference in the year 1882. Their Lordships, with the object of promoting a more general devotion towards the Saints of our country, resolved in the first place to apply to the Holy See for a considerable addition to the number of proper festivals in the Breviary and Missal; and secondly, to take measures for the compilation of a Calendar, for the use of the faithful at large, which should contain some short notice, as far as authentic records permit, of all the Saints connected by birth, or by their labours, or by death, with the present Ecclesiastical Province of Westminster. The former part of this resolution was carried into effect without delay; and we have now the consolation of celebrating annually the festivals of many of those servants of God who are most prominent in the history of the English Church. The Menology here offered to the reader is to be considered as an attempt, however incomplete, to fulfil the latter part of their Lordships' pious intention.

Book Description
This book provides an introduction to current work and new directions in the study of medieval liturgy. It focuses primarily on so-called occasional rituals such as burial, church consecration, exorcism and excommunication rather than on the Mass and Office. Recent research on such rites challenges many established ideas, especially about the extent to which they differed from place to place and over time, and how the surviving evidence should be interpreted. These essays are designed to offer guidance about current thinking, especially for those who are new to the subject, want to know more about it, or wish to conduct research on liturgical topics. Bringing together scholars working in different disciplines (history, literature, architectural history, musicology and theology), time periods (from the ninth to the fifteenth centuries) and intellectual traditions, this collection demonstrates the great potential that liturgical evidence offers for understanding many aspects of the Middle Ages. It includes essays that discuss the practicalities of researching liturgical rituals; show through case studies the problems caused by over-reliance on modern editions; explore the range of sources for particular ceremonies and the sort of questions which can be asked of them; and go beyond the rites themselves to investigate how liturgy was practised and understood in the medieval period.

Book Description
This volume contains comprehensive and scholarly editions of three Anglo-Saxon saints' lives: Birinus of Dorchester-on-Thames, Kenelm of Winchcombe, and Rumwold of Buckingham. Rosalind Love provides the Latin texts, based on all known manuscript versions, with a facing-page English translation, together with full annotation and a historical introduction which sets these works in the context of the development of hagiographical literature. Love traces the growth and changes in hagiograhical writing, one of the most important genres of medieval literature and essential to the understanding of the religious mentality of the Middle Ages, and shows how the eleventh century saw significant new directions emerge in the cult of the saints and the writing of saints' lives.
