Publisher's Synopsis
""The Offertory Rite in the Ordo Romanus Primus: A Study of Its Bearing on the So-Called Offertory Procession"" by George J. Booth is a scholarly work that examines the history and significance of the Offertory Rite in the Roman Catholic Church. The book focuses on the Ordo Romanus Primus, a liturgical text from the 7th century that provides a detailed description of the Offertory Rite as it was practiced at that time. Booth analyzes the text and compares it to later liturgical practices, particularly the so-called Offertory Procession that became common in the Middle Ages. He argues that the Ordo Romanus Primus offers important insights into the original meaning and purpose of the Offertory Rite, and that understanding this ancient liturgical tradition can help modern Catholics to appreciate the richness and depth of their faith. The book is aimed at scholars and students of liturgy, as well as anyone interested in the history of the Catholic Church and its rituals.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
