Book Description
A 2004 reprint, this book introduces the reader to primary sources of the liturgy, in the West. The author shows how the primitive rite of intiation gradually disintegrated. Fisher groups the material geographically: - Rome, from John the Deacon and the Gelasian Sacramentary to the twelfth century.
- Milan and northern Italy, from Ambrose to the Ordo of Beroldus.
- Gaul and Germany, from the seventh to the twelfth century.
- Spain, from Isidore of Seville to the Mozarabic Liber Ordinum.
This is a classic work, especially important now that in the U.S. people are restoring the traditional order of the sacraments of initiation: baptism first, then confirmation, then first Eucharist.
"Fisher's own scholarship is a sterling example of the value of getting back to the sources. There is no question that liturgy has been vastly improved today because we have had better contact with its sources. We understand from them how and why people prayed at different times in history, which ceremonies carried over, which were abandoned, and perhaps which should have been abandoned but were not. The field of liturgical history has been extremely helpful in our recent revisions of the rites of Christian initiation." --Father Gerard Austin, O.P.
