The Ordinal of the Abbey of the Holy Trinity, F??amp (F??amp, Mus?? de la B????ictine, MS 186), II [Containing Parts II, III and IV]

Second of two-volume edition of twelfth-century Ordinal from F?camp, giving a detailed view of monastic liturgy.

The abbey of F?camp, reformed in the early years of the eleventh century by William of Volpiano, abbot of St-B?nigne at Dijon, was a key institution in the development of Norman monasticism in the middle ages. As one of the most energetic monastic reformers of his time, William was noted for the attention he paid to the liturgy of the many abbeys he superintended, and his liturgical cursus was influential in English and continental monastic houses.
The F?camp Ordinal, edited here from a manuscript of the early thirteenth century, but transmitting the liturgy observed in the abbey some two centuries earlier, is the first complete source of William's liturgical work tobe printed. It is expanded by readings from complementary F?camp service books, creating a text which gives a particularly detailed view of medieval monastic liturgy. The first volume contains the Temporale; this volume contains the remainder of the Ordinal (Sanctorale, Commune Sanctorum and Miscellanea), together with comprehensive indexes.
