This book delves into the rich liturgical tradition of the Sarum Breviary, a collection of daily prayers used in the English Church from the 11th to the 16th centuries. The author provides a faithful translation of the lesser hours, Prime, Terce, Sext, None, and Compline, enriching our understanding of this complex and beautiful system of worship. Exploring the details of the Sarum Breviary's structure, the author explains the rules governing the order of prayers, the different types of services, and the significance of specific days and feasts. The book also sheds light on the use of psalms, antiphons, and collects, revealing the depth of meaning woven into each element of the service. Furthermore, the author emphasizes the historical context of the Sarum Breviary, highlighting its continuity with the ancient order of the Church and its enduring impact on the English Book of Common Prayer. The book offers a profound insight into the devotional life of our forefathers, revealing the rich tapestry of faith and practice that shaped the English Church.

Pr�sentation de l'�diteur:

English of the Hours of Prime, Terce, Sext, None, and Compline, according to the Use of the English Chureh of Sarum, together with such of the Eules called the Pie as apply to our present Kalendar. The work has been undertaken, not merely in the spirit of the antiquary, but mainly with a practical view. In our present Prayer-B ook the old Sarum services of Mattins, Lauds, and Evensong are retained in a modi fied form: the present English Liturgy is the crippled child of the venerable Liturgy of Sarum, in its own day famosissimse ac inter occiduas nominatissimse ecclesise ;the Kalendar is a somewhat expurgated version of that of Sarum; while the preface in well-known words claims for the whole book continuity with the past, and showers not unpointed anathemas 011 those who at any time have made their vain attempts and impetuous assaults upon the little which the book yet retains of the worshipful past, whether in ceremonial or in substance; seeing that they have always dis covered a greater regard to their own private fancies and interests, than to that duty they owe to the publick.
