In the late fifteenth and early sixteenth centuries, successive archbishops of Salzburg attempted to consolidate their power and implement ecclesiastical reforms by means of commissioned printed liturgical books. Achieving uniform worship, however, proved difficult. In editions of the Missale Salisburgense, the revised musical mass prefaces required typographically challenging red notation. The addition or omission of coloured notes by printers and users reveals that the technical limitations of printing together with variable performance practices hindered liturgical uniformitas.

The aim of this project is to produce a series of empirical studies examining the linguistic, psychological, and theological differences between the pre and post Vatican II collects. This project will conduct these examinations using methods from corpus linguistics.

From 1494 until 1512, around a dozen securely datable prints containing or relating to music were published in the city of Salamanca in present-day Spain. To date, these works have not been considered as a group. This thesis takes the perspective of the Salmantine printers to examine this corpus. To do so, the study gathers methods and secondary sources from a variety of fields, particularly combining history of the Iberian book with musicology. The thesis establishes Juan de Porras as the dominant printer in Salmantine music printing production with prominent connections to the Fonseca family, particularly the Archbishop of Santiago de Compostela, Alfonso II de Fonseca. Music production was also motivated by liturgical reforms sweeping across the Peninsula, as well as related language reforms occurring at the University of Salamanca. While liturgical prints had pre-established markets and patrons, marketing techniques in the music treatises show that these works were targeted to different segments of Iberian society. The thesis includes three appendices which 1) collate all identifiable persons in the prints, 2) present a catalogue of Salmantine music prints from 1494 to 1512, and 3) compare music types used in the liturgical books of the corpus.

The article presents the results of work on archaeographic research of the Metropolinate of Novosibirsk parish book collections, done in 2019–2020. The researchers of the Department of Rare Books and Manuscripts of SPSTL SB RAS inventoried the books of Cyrillic and civil press kept in the parish library of Holy Apostle and Evangelist Luke in Kupino (Kupinsky district of Novosibirsk province). 35 Orthodox books of the Cyrillic tradition and of the Russian civil type of the first half of the 17th – early 20th centuries were made known, among them, 2 editions of the 17th century printed by the Moscow Print Yard, 4 Old Believer editions of the late 19th – early 20th centuries, 19 Synodal editions of the Cyrillic type from the late 18th to the early 20th centuries and 12 Synodal editions of the Russian civil type. The aim of the article is to present the results of scientific description and an archaeographic analysis of individual features of the most interesting book exemplars. Through complication of describing such book collections, which did not usually preserve intact or partially samples of pre-revolutionary parish book stocks and were shaped from various sources, priority was given to describing the owner’s signs of each sample that reflected the history of their existence in one or another social environment. Among the earliest there were described the perfectly preserved Moscow Gospel of 1627, the owner’s and donative records of which reflected its displacement from the territory of the Grand Duchy of Lithuania to Moscovia, where it could have come after Smolensk campaign of Tsar Alexey Mikhailovich. Another interesting example of editions of the Moscow Print Yard already from the post-schism period is the Irmologion of 1657, in which course of the description significant differences from other known copies were revealed. The late Old Believers liturgical books, that preserved the fragments of hand-written and early printed books, give interesting owners signs. The collection of synodal publications of the St Luke parish library covers a wide chronological and thematic range. Besides liturgical books such as psalteries, missal books, miscellanies of Akathist hymns there are also collections of sermons, manuals on theology, church singing and Sacred history. The article presents brief versions of the books of Cyrillic press of the St Like parish library, clearly showing the wide geographical distribution of the Russian Orthodox book both in the late medieval times and in the 20th century, as well as characteristic signs of its existence in various readership.

The essay deals with the relationship between liturgy und integrity of creation. It aims at providing a liturgical and theological explanation to the question: whether the Christian liturgy can contribute to the global movement regarding the integrity of creation. This study analyses theologically some selected eucharistic prayer texts in which the praise of God the Creator and of his works of creation occur. This study shows us that the theme of creation was an integral part of ancient Christian eucharistic prayers, and it remains the important element of the eucharistic prayers in the new time. The introduction of the theme of creation into the new eucharistic prayers in Roman Missal 1970 was one of the visible fruits of the eucharistic prayer reform after the second Vatican council. On the one hand, it expresses the new awareness of the richness of ancient liturgical tradition. On the other hand, the motif of creation has a close relevance to the hope and concern of our times. It should offer us a theological and liturgical inspiration in developing an ethical awareness and human responsibility toward the integration of creation.

Wprowadzenie Celem niniejszego opracowania będzie próba ustalenia zakresu różnic wprowadzonych w dziale Mszału Rzymskiego zatytułowanym "De defectibus in celebratione missae occurrentibus" od Mszału Piusa V do Mszału Jana XXIII. Realizacja celu pracy będzie możliwa dzięki dogłębnej i szczegółowej analizie porównawczej oraz teologicznej tych ksiąg liturgicznych, które zostaną wskazane jako materiał źródłowy niniejszego opracowania. W niniejszym opracowaniu wykorzystane zostaną dwie podstawowe metody pozwalające na realizację postawionego celu badawczego. Pierwszą z nich będzie analiza porównawcza, która zostanie użyta w części pracy poświęconej zestawieniu różnic w poszczególnych księgach liturgicznych. To narzędzie umożliwi wychwycenie wszystkich istotnych rozbieżności dzielących poszczególne księgi liturgiczne, zwłaszcza Mszał Piusa V i Mszał Jana XXIII. Drugą metodą badawczą będzie synteza teologiczna polegająca na próbie wskazania implikacji teologicznych wynikających z zaobserwowanych różnic pomiędzy rubrykami poszczególnych ksiąg liturgicznych. Oprócz wskazanych już Mszału Piusa V i Mszału Jana XXIII istotne wydaje się uwzględnienie Mszału Klemensa VIII oraz Mszału Benedykta XV. Taki wybór jest zasadny z jednego podstawowego powodu. Edycja z 1604 roku stanowi drugą edycję typiczną Mszału Rzymskiego, a zatem pierwsze wydanie wzorcowe od editio princeps, w którym papież mógł wprowadzić jakieś zmiany w dziale "De defectibus". Z kolei edycja z 1920 roku stanowi ostatnie wydanie wzorcowe Mszału sprzed edycji typicznej Jana XXIII, która przecież nie przez wszystkich katolików jest uznawana. W świetle przeprowadzonych analiz oczywista jest również konstatacja, że dział "De defectibus" nie pozostał nietknięty i wielokrotnie ulegał zmianie na przestrzeni niemal czterystu lat (1570–1962). Od Mszału Piusa V do ostatniego typicznego wydania niezreformowanego Mszału Rzymskiego dokonano w nim około stu modyfikacji. W tym należy wyliczyć nieco ponad trzydzieści zmian stylistycznych oraz sześćdziesiąt siedem modyfikacji merytorycznych. Wśród zmian merytorycznych trzydzieści siedem było pozornych, a trzydzieści dwa – rzeczywistych. Pewne punkty De defectibus modyfikowane były kilkukrotnie na przestrzeni kilkuset lat. The aim of this study is to try to establish the scope of the differences introduced in the section of the Roman Missal entitled De defectibus in celebratione missae occurrentibus from the Missal of Pius V to the Missal of John XXIII. Its implementation is possible thanks to an in-depth and detailed comparative and theological analysis of these liturgical books, which will be indicated as the source material for this study. This study uses two basic methods to achieve the research goal set. The first one is a comparative analysis, which is used in the part devoted to comparing the differences in individual liturgical books. This tool makes it possible to spot all the significant discrepancies between the various liturgical books, especially the Missal of Pius V and the Missal of John XXIII. The second research method is a theological synthesis consisting in an attempt to indicate theological implications resulting from the observed differences between the rubrics of particular liturgical books. Therefore, it seems reasonable to consider only four source materials. In addition to the aforementioned Missal of Pius V and Missal of John XXIII), it seems important to include the Missal of Clement VIII and the Missal of Benedict XV, which is justified by one fundamental reason. The 1604 edition is the second typical edition of the Roman Missal, and therefore the first edition after the editio princeps, in which the Pope could introduce some changes to the section De defectibus. The 1920 edition, on the other hand, is the last typical edition of the Missal before the typical edition of John XXIII, which, after all, is not recognized by all Catholics. In the light of the analyses carried out, it is also obvious that the De defectibus section changed many times over the course of almost four hundred years (1570–1962). About a hundred modifications were made from Pius V’s edition to the last typical edition of the unreformed Roman Missal. This includes just over thirty stylistic changes and sixty-seven substantive modifications. Among the substantive changes, thirty-seven were apparent and thirty-two were real. Certain points in De defectibus were modified a number of times over a period of several centuries.

Celem prezentowanego artykułu jest zwrócenia uwagi na wybrane językowe i stylistyczne aspekty polskich przekładów mszału. W artykule zostaną omówione najpierw wybrane czynniki, które powinien brać pod uwagę tłumacz tekstów mszalnych, ze szczególnym zwróceniem uwagi na te kwestie, które dotyczą odbiorcy tych tekstów i jego kompetencji językowej, sytuacji komunikacyjnej, w której odbiorca ma kontakt z owymi tekstami, a także te, które związane są ze specyfiką samego języka religijnego jako służącego do kontaktu ze sferą sacrum. Następnie, na podstawie analiz porównawczych Mszału Rzymskiego dla diecezji polskich z 1986 r. i powstającej obecnie polskiej edycji Missale Romanum z 2002 r., omówione zostaną wybrane pozytywne tendencje językowe zaobserwowane zwłaszcza w propozycjach nowego tłumaczenia, jak i kwestie, (pojawiające się w obu porównywanych wersjach), które budzą zastrzeżenia z punktu widzenia poprawności językowej i stylistycznej, a także komunikatywności. The aim of the presented article is to draw attention to selected linguistic and stylistic aspects of Polish translations of the missal. The article will first discuss selected factors that should be taken into account by the translator of liturgical texts, with particular emphasis on those issues that concern the recipient of these texts and his linguistic competence, the communicative situation in which the recipient has contact with these texts, as well as which are related to the specificity of the religious language itself as serving to contact the sphere of the sacred. Then, on the basis of comparative analyzes of the Roman Missal for Polish dioceses from 1986 and the Polish edition of the Missale Romanum from 2002, which is currently under construction, selected positive linguistic tendencies observed especially in the proposals for the new translation will be discussed, as well as the issues (appearing in both compared versions), which raise objections from the point of view of linguistic and stylistic correctness as well as communicativeness.

PTDC/ART-HIS/29522/2017 UIDB/00749/2020 UIDP/00749/2020 En este artículo se presenta el estudio de un misal iluminado procedente del monasterio de Alcobaça (BNP, Alc. 252). El análisis del contenido litúrgico y de la materialidad del códice, incluyendo aquí la iluminación y la encuadernación, así como el estudio comparativo con otros manuscritos procedentes del mismo monasterio, permitirán confirmar su origen en el scriptorium alcobacense, precisar su datación, integrarlo en su contexto de producción y de uso(s), y tener en cuenta la evolución de las circunstancias litúrgico-materiales del mismo. This article presents the study of an illuminated missal from the monastery of Alcobaça (BNP, Alc. 252). The analysis of the liturgical content and the materiality of the codex, including here the illumination and the binding, as well as a comparative study with other manuscripts from the same monastery, will allow us to confirm its origin in the scriptorium of Alcobaça, to determine its dating, to understand its context of production and use(s), and to take into account the evolution of the liturgical-material characteristics of the codex. publishersversion published

The ecumenical dialogue between the Catholic Church and the Anglican Communion is one of the most important and difficult part of activity of both communities. Eucharist is the main goal of ecumenism because in the common celebrating of the sacred liturgy the Christ’s Church is a visible sign of the unity for the world. One of the most important theological problems in the dialogue is the problem of transsubstantiation. For the Anglican Church this Catholic doctrine is against the biblical and rudimental teaching of primitive Christendom. The article shows the problem of trans- substantiation in the ecumenical perspective and in the context of Divine Worship: The Missal. The Catholic Eucharistic teaching is present in this new Western liturgical book, but the term of trans- substantiation does not exist there.

Prispevek predstavi sklop evholoških besedil na čast svetemu Hieronimu: od prvih omemb v Gelazijevem zakramentarju do prenovljenega rimskega misala Pavla vi. Orisan je potek kompozicije temeljnih zakramentarjev in misalov rimskega obreda, ki so vir, iz katerega se je bogato razširil obstoječ misal. Predstavljeni so vidiki, ki bi jih za zvest prenos misli, izraženih v latinski evhologiji, v drug jezik, lahko upoštevali. Razširjeni konteksti umeščenega besedila namreč v bogoslužju omogočajo liturgičnemu besedilu, da lahko postane učinkovit dogodek vere. Njihovo neupoštevanje pa učinkovitost besedila omejuje. Zaradi pretežno filološke metode prevedeno evhološko besedilo uporabnika lahko doseže šele s katehezo, homilijo ali komentarjem. Tak pristop je neprimerljivo hitrejši in zaradi še neizdelanih študij za vsak posamezni formular se ohranja vtis, da je zahtevni proces inkulturacije rimskega obreda nujno potrebno centralno nadzorovati. Predstavljena so tudi obvezujoča navodila, s katerimi Cerkev že desetletja usmerja prevajanje in iz katerih postaja še bolj očitna teža in preroškost odločitev, ki jih je v korist vernikov naredila na drugem vatikanskem koncilu.

Obrzędy zakończenia w edycjach typicznych mszału Pawła VI Niniejsze opracowanie ukazuje strukturę obrzędów zakończenia Mszy św. w mszale posoborowym i zmiany w trzech edycjach typicznych. Posoborowa reforma zachowała tradycję ukształtowanych obrzędów, porządkując je, czyniąc bardziej przejrzystymi i lepiej oddającymi ich sens. Kolejne, drobne zmiany miały na celu pogłębienie tego procesu. Dlatego opracowanie podaje wybrane historyczne korzenie obrzędów i prezentuje wprowadzane poprawki w mszale. Umożliwia to lepsze zrozumienie ewolucji poszczególnych elementów obrzędów i daje impuls do dalszego pogłębiania studiów nad korzeniami zreformowanych obrzędów liturgicznych.

Exeter Cathedral Library and Archives MS 3515 (hereafter EXcl 3515), a notated missal located in Exeter Cathedral, has to date received very little scholarly attention. This neglect may be due to the absence of a liturgical kalendar and evidence of local saints in the Sanctorale. Its assignment to the thirteenth century with a generic English origin suggests that critical questions concerning provenance and dating have been overlooked. The source itself comprises four disparate sections assembled so as to create a complete liturgical cycle. Yet the parts are not as separate as hitherto believed. A comparative investigation reveals not only an Exeter provenance and a twelfth-century dating, but also a new witness to the St Denis/Corbie tradition. Research also reveals unexpected threads of liturgical continuity with the Anglo-Saxon past. As a complete pre-Sarum source of Mass prayers, chants and readings, EXcl 3515 offers a useful lens with which to view a transitional period in the development of a medieval secular liturgy in England. (By contrast, the three dominant cathedrals – Salisbury, York and Hereford – all lack notated chant sources from this period.) EXcl 3515 adds not only significant new data to the current information on secular liturgies, but also challenges accepted theories on the shaping of a distinctive English Use in southwest England.

SOMMARIO: 1. Il “pomo della discordia”: Concilio Vaticano II - 2. L’ermeneutica della riforma nella continuità - 3. Unità nella unicità? - 4. Esempi di non trascurabile fedeltà. Lex orandi, lex credendi? The Roman Missal and its symbolic value between Summorum Pontificum and Traditionis Custodes ABSTRACT: This essay aims to examine the symbolic value acquired by the Roman Missal of 1962 by the Second Vatican Council today, especially through the comparison of two recent statutes, Summorum Pontificum and Traditionis Custodes. They can represent an effective synthesis of the approaches used by the Catholic Church to relate to a liturgical question that is still very controversial.

Pri obravnavi lesorezne ilustracije sem se omejila na ljubljanski prostor in na najpomembnejšo, celostransko upodobitev križanja, četudi misali vsebujejo tudi drugo bolj ali manj bogato likovno opremo. H končnemu izgledu knjige svoje pridajo tudi vezava v usnje z vtisnjenim okrasjem, okovje, izbira papirja in vtiskovanje vodnih znakov. Misale hranijo ljubljanska Narodna in univerzitetna knjižnica, Semeniška knjižnica in knjižnica Narodnega muzeja Slovenije. Omejila sem se na 15. in 16. stoletje, saj sta bili v našem umetnostnem prostoru nekoliko zapostavljeni. S prehodom iz ročne poslikave knjig v rabo lesoreznih matric podobe v knjigah izgubijo sijajnost in s stališča bralca niso več tako privlačne. To pa ne velja za raziskovanje kontinuitete slikovnega okrasja liturgičnih knjig, saj so le-te še vedno predstavljale vrhunec knjižne produkcije. While studying woodcut illustrations, I focused on the Ljubljana area and on the most important full-page depiction of the crucifixion. The missals also contain other fine art elements that contribute to the final visual image of the book, such as: leather binding with embossed decorations, fittings, selection of paper and watermarks. The books are kept in the National and University Library, the Seminary Library and Slovenian National Museum’s library. I limited myself to the 15th and 16th centuries, as the woodcut illustration of that period has been somewhat neglected. With the introduction of printed book illustrations, the images lost some of their lustre and were no longer as attractive from the reader's point of view. However, this does not apply to liturgical books, given that they continue to represent the peak of book production.

Prefation as an integral element mass celebration Thanksgiving is an important climate for the celebration of the Eucharist. The development of the Mass rites, from the breaking of bread in the apostolic times, through the medieval rites recorded in the sacramentaries, including the post-Tridentine Missal of Pius V, which unified Mass rites, up to the Missale Romanum of Paul VI of 1970, was carried out with the awareness that through them the participants of the liturgy were disposed to express gratitude to God for the work of creation, salvation, and sanctification. A special way of exposing the concrete saving interventions of God, especially the saving deeds of Christ, is the preface. It is an integral part of the celebration of the Eucharist. The multiplicity of the preface, as many as 267 in the Sacramentary of Verona from the 7th century, as well as 100 in the Missal of Paul VI, testifies to the fact that the Church cares very much to revive the awareness of the great works of God, making present in the celebration of the paschal mystery of the incarnate Son of God. The present shape of the masses’ prefaces is rooted in Christian antiquity. The dialogical nature of the preface prayer is also derived from that time., {"references":["Abramowiczówna, Z. (1962).

The publication of the Missale Romanum (1570), revised at the behest of the Council of Trent (1545–63), had direct consequences for plainchant. In order to celebrate a sung mass, the contents of graduals had to be brought into conformity with the new missal. In 1572 the Venetian firms of Giunta and Varisco issued the first printed editions of the Graduale Romanum in Italy after the missal’s promulgation. The volumes contain prefaces adumbrating the requisite alterations, which from 1580 onwards were mostly assimilated into the contents of subsequent graduals. Three types of modifications affected chant melodies: the removal of text, the addition of text, and the addition of new propers. This study explores these categories in key editions of the Graduale Romanum printed in Italy between 1572 and 1653. Analyses of five offertory chants reveal that the combination of editorial freedom, source interrelation, and textual variants in editions of the Missale Romanum resulted in musical diversity. The removal of text in the offertories Iubilate deo omnis terra and Iubilate deo universa terra reflects the editors’ aesthetic preferences and their understanding of musical grammar. In Dextera domini and Iustitiae domini, the addition of text is dependent on the edition of the missal used in the process of collation, the relationships between the sources, and the editors’ responses to the changes mandated. The added chant Insurrexerunt in me, with its mixture of traditional and contemporary characteristics, highlights the freedom with which the editors sourced, or even composed, chant melodies. These findings highlight textual and musical diversity within newly regularized liturgical structures and clarify the relationship between the Council of Trent and plainchant revision. As a result, they call into question the suitability of the “Post-Tridentine” label often given to early modern chant.

In May 1464, the annual chapter of Durham Cathedral Priory accepted a proposal that the Sub-Prior should be responsible for the missals and chalices used in the Priory’s ‘ludi ordinarii’ (liturgical performances). This article identifies two of these liturgical books as the Durham Missal (MS BL Harley 5289) and the Durham Processional (MS BL Royal 7A.VI, Item 28 [fols 116-26], which is referred to in the Missal as the ordinale; one of the chalices referred to was the ‘Judas Cup’, which was only used in the service commemorating the Last Supper on Maundy Thursday. Using these two manuscripts together with the descriptions of liturgical ritual in The Rites of Durham, which was completed in 1593 but describes the cathedral’s ceremonies in the 1530s, the article reconstructs the contents of the annual quasi-dramatic ceremonies in the Priory on Palm Sunday and Good Friday, and shows that while these ceremonies do not amount to liturgical drama in the fullest sense, they include important quasi-dramatic elements of which the monks of Durham were well aware.

The Eucharist, a gift of God’s fatherly love, is the heart of the Church life. It constitutes the most important reality, but also a sacrament of everyday life. Awareness of that great gift leads to a deep need for gaining an insight into the beginnings of the Eucharist—the Mass of the Lord’s Supper. The aim of the present article is to investigate the theological content of the antiphons, the song, and the hymn included in the contemporary Polish Roman Missal. The Author will present a theological analysis of the Polish antiphons, the song, and the hymn from the Mass of the Lord’s Supper in the chronological order of their appearance in the contemporary liturgy. The texts will be subject to historical and linguistic analysis. The texts of the antiphons are rooted in the Bible. For that reason they will be first analyzed from the historical point of view, and then juxtaposed with the version from the Millennium Bible and with the original Greek text, in order to identify differences and analogies between them. Next, the texts will be analyzed from the linguistic and pragmatic perspective. The consideration will end with a short summary of the sources and theological motifs identified in the course of the analysis.

The figure of St. Jerome had left traces in the history of Old Church Slavonic Liturgy and places where the Roman Rite in the Old Church Slavonic language was celebrated. This paper explores the extent to which Saint Jerome was worshipped in the heritage and tradition of Glagolitic liturgical manuscripts, which are typologically classified as liturgy books »according to the use of the Roman Curia«.

The Missal of the Spanish Cardinal Juan Alvarez of Toledo contains several illuminations touching on the topics of vision and visionary experience. Taking into account recent research exploring the modalities developed and implemented by Renaissance artists, we propose to explore the visionary dimension of the manuscript that has, until now, gone unnoticed., Le Missel du cardinal espagnol Juan Alvarez de Toledo contient de nombreuses illuminations traitant des thèmes de la vision et de l’expérience visionnaire. Prenant en compte de récentes recherches explorant les modalités développées et mises en œuvre par les artistes de la Renaissance, nous proposons d’explorer la dimension visionnaire du Missel qui est, jusqu’à présent, passée inaperçue.

Medieval and Renaissance manuscripts were collected in North America from about 1820. Four key sources of them can be identified: 1. Ancestral ownership of books brought by early settlers; 2. Acquisitions by missionaries and scholars; 3. Mementos acquired by elites on European Grand Tours; 4. Purchases by bibliophiles from international sales catalogues, domestic booksellers, and auctions of imported volumes. Examples of such manuscripts are identified in this article, and their early owners are recognized as pioneering collectors. A small but profitable commerce in manuscripts emerged in major cities, chiefly New York, where the firm of Daniel Appleton held an early monopoly. Appleton’s had acquired two chests of illuminated manuscripts in Paris. Selling was a challenge, however. Since medieval and Renaissance manuscripts in the New World were unreadable books because of language and script, enterprising booksellers were forced to develop innovative ways to sell them. Appleton’s, for example, used “placement advertising” to sell its manuscripts, publishing articles on medieval topics that mentioned or evoked manuscripts. Two ways of marketing manuscripts came to predominate by the middle of the nineteenth century. The book dealer Joseph Sabin promoted “artifactual reading.” He emphasized the materiality of manuscripts, their possession by fanatic monks, their esoteric rarity, and the possibility of owning the lifetime work of a sensitive, if unschooled, artist. Sabin detailed his ideas in the auction catalogues he authored. George P. Philes, by contrast, published a newsletter called Philobiblion, in which he debunked Sabin’s manuscript mythologies. His marketing was bibliographical. Manuscripts, Philes suggested, were not rare, nor the life-works of religious, nor objects of mystical veneration. He marketed elite collectors who considered themselves New World aristocrats. Philes got his novel ideas from Archives du Bibliophile, a Paris journal published by Anatole Claudin. Philes translated many of its articles and even sold manuscripts that had been offered in Archives. This effort was a rare instance of influence by the Paris booktrade on the New York market. Des manuscrits du Moyen Âge et de la Renaissance se trouvaient en Amérique du Nord dans les années 1820. On peut identifier quatre types d’origine : 1. la propriété ancestrale de livres anciens apportés par les premiers colons ; 2. des acquisitions par des missionnaires et des érudits ; 3. des souvenirs acquis par les élites lors de leur « Grand Tour » d’Europe; 4. des achats par les bibliophiles dans les catalogues de vente internationaux, auprès de libraires nationaux et des ventes aux enchères de volumes importés. Des exemples de tels manuscrits sont identifiés dans cet article, et leurs premiers propriétaires y sont considérés comme des collectionneurs pionniers. Un commerce de manuscrits, modeste mais rentable, a vu le jour dans les grandes villes, principalement à New York, où la firme de Daniel Appleton a détenu un premier monopole. Appleton’s avait acquis deux coffres de manuscrits enluminés à Paris. La vente fut cependant un défi. Étant donné que les manuscrits médiévaux et de la Renaissance dans le Nouveau Monde étaient des livres illisibles en raison de la langue et de l’écriture, les libraires entreprenants ont été contraints de développer des moyens innovants pour les vendre. Par exemple, Appleton a utilisé la « Placement Adverstising » pour vendre ses manuscrits, publiant des articles sur des sujets médiévaux qui mentionnaient ou évoquaient des manuscrits. Deux modes de commercialisation de manuscrits ont prédominé au milieu du xixe siècle. Le libraire Joseph Sabin a promu la « lecture artefactuelle ». Il a mis en avant la matérialité des manuscrits, leurs premiers propriétaires – des moines fanatiques – , la rareté de leur caractère ésotérique , et la possibilité de faire l’acquisition des œuvres complètes fabriquées par des artistes sensibles, bien que sans éducation. Sabin a détaillé ses idées dans les catalogues de ventes aux enchères qu'il a rédigés. George P. Philes, en revanche, a publié un bulletin appelé « Philobiblion » et mis en place un marketing bibliographique. Dans ce bulletin, il a démystifié les mythologies manuscrites de Sabin : les manuscrits n’étaient pas rares, ils ne contenaient pas des œuvres uniques de religieux, et n’étaient pas des objets de vénération mystique. Philes a fait commerce avec des collectionneurs d'élite qui se considéraient comme des aristocrates du Nouveau Monde. Il a emprunté ses idées aux «Archives du Bibliophile», une revue parisienne publiée par Anatole Claudin, dont il a traduit bon nombre de ses articles. Il a même vendu des manuscrits qui avaient été offerts aux « Archives ». Cet collaboration est un rare exemple d'influence du libraire parisien sur le marché de New York.

This thesis examines atonement theology in the Church of Swedens missal (Kyrkohandbok för Svenska kyrkan) published in 2018. By identifying atonement motifs the thesis identifies and discusses which types of atonement theology that dominates the missal. Four subquestions are used to identify and discuss the atonement theology expressed; Why is atonenment needed? What is atonement? How is atonement acheived? Is there potentially problematic aspects of the atonoment theology that is identified? The atonement theology which is identified is mainly of two sorts. The healing process and the atoning obedience.The thesis then tries to handle one such problematic aspect by discussing how to understand the concept of sacrifice which is central to the atoning obedience and by integrating the atonement theology of divinization, theosis, into the understanding of atonement that is dominant in the missal of the Church of Sweden. The thesis argues that properly understood, sacrifice and divinization offers a way forward in order to understand the theology of atonement in a way both true to the christian tradition and and comprehendible to society in the 21st century.

Статья посвящена типологии миссала, одной из главных литургических книг латинской церкви. Благодаря удобству использования во время богослужения, данный тип книги получил широкое распространение и к XIII в. занял место основной богослужебной книги для совершения евхаристической литургии. На примере иллюминированных рукописных миссалов XV в., хранящихся в собрании Российской государственной библиотеки, автор демонстрирует типологическое разнообразие позднесредневекового миссала. Обширный круг памятников, представленных в основных мировых рукописных собраниях и в настоящее время доступных для исследования в том числе и в виде цифровых копий, позволяет провести общую систематизацию. В качестве основных принципов систематизации автор называет разделение по типу состава миссала в соответствии с литургическим обрядом, по назначению кодекса, по типу художественного оформления, с учетом особенностей традиций региональных школ книжного искусства. Особенно важным представляется определение памятников типовых и уникальных, обладающих редкой иконографической программой или отличающихся высочайшим уровнем художественного оформления, созданных под влиянием пожеланий конкретного заказчика, а также исследование круга заказчиков. В статье также затрагиваются такие важные для истории книжного искусства темы, как практическая функция художественного оформления книги, внутренняя иерархия составляющих его элементов - полностраничных миниатюр, историзованных и орнаментированных инициалов, и, конечно, связь изображений с богослужебным текстом. Статья освещает начальный этап исследования, призванного показать на примере миссала историю иллюминированной рукописной книги в контексте истории книжного искусства позднего Средневековья., The typology of missals, one of the main liturgical books of the Latin Church, was in the focus of the study. Using the example of illuminated missals of the 15th century from the collection of the Russian State Library, the author demonstrated the typological diversity of the late medieval missals. A wide range of manuscripts is stored in Russian and foreign libraries and museums. Currently, part of them is in digital form and available for research, which enables to systematize different types of late medieval missals. The main principles of systematization presented by the author are the division by the content according to a liturgical rite, and by use, the division by different types of book illumination according to use and traditions of regional schools. It also seemed very important to define typical and unique monuments contained special iconographic program, or characterized by the highest level of its decoration, created in accordance with the preferences of the patron, and analyzing the groups of patrons. The author described the practical functions of the book illumination, the internal hierarchy of the elements of decoration — full-page miniatures, historiated and ornamental initials, and the relationship between image and liturgical text. The article covers the initial stage of the research on the history and typology of the late medieval missals.
