Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Ante-Nicene Christian Library, Vol. 24: Translations of the Writings of the Fathers Down to A. D. 325; Early Liturgies and Other Documents The word "Liturgy" has a special meaning as applied to the following documents. It denotes the service used in the celebration of the Eucharist. Various liturgies have come down to us from antiquity; and their age, authorship, and genuineness have been matter of keen discussion. In our own country two writers on this subject stand specially prominent: the Rev. William Palmer, M.A., who in his Origines Liturgicce (Oxford, 1832) gave a dissertation on Primitive Liturgies ; and the Rev. J. Mason Neale, who devoted a large portion of his life to liturgies, edited four of them in his Tetralogia Lilurgica (London, 1849), five of them in his Liturgies of St. Mark, St. James, St. Clement, St. Chrysostom, and St. Basil (sec. ed. London, 1868), and discussed them in a masterly manner in several works, but especially in his General Introduction to a History of the Holy Eastern Church (London, 1850). Ancient liturgies are generally divided into four families, - the Liturgy of the Jerusalem Church, adopted throughout the East; the Alexandrian, used in Egypt and the neighbouring countries; and the Roman and Gallican Liturgies. To these Neale has added a fifth, the Liturgy of Persia or Edessa. There is also a liturgy not included in any of these families - the Clementine. It seems never to have been used in any public service. It forms part of the eighth book of the Apostolical Constitutions (Ante-Nicene Christian Library, vol. xvii.).
