In 1921, Anton Baumstark delivered two lectures on thedevelopment of the Roman Rite to a gathering at the Abbey ofMaria Laach. Abbot Ildefons Herwegen offered to publish thoselectures, but Baumstark decided to write a book on the topicinstead, which was published two years later as On the HistoricalDevelopment of the Liturgy. It would be another sixteen years beforehe produced Comparative Liturgy, for which he is better known.Together the two books lay out Baumstark's liturgical methodology.Comparative Liturgy presents his method; On the HistoricalDevelopment of the Liturgy offers his model.For nearly a century, On the Historical Development of the Liturgyhas been valued by specialists in the field of liturgical studies, bothfor its description of comparative liturgy and for the portrayalof patterns Baumstark discerns in liturgical development. Alsosignificant are the hypotheses Baumstark proposes and the evidencehe brings to bear on problems in liturgical history. In this annotatededition, Fritz West provides the first English translation of this work by Anton Baumstark.

Volume 2A source-book of theological and historical passages from the Christian writings of the Post-Nicene and Constantinopolitan eras through St. Jerome. Volume 2 concludes with Julian of Eclanum (d. 454).Volume 1: the Pre-Nicene and Nicene erasVolume 2: the Post-Nicene era through St. Jerome;Volume 3: St. Augustine to the end of the patristic period. The passages selected are keyed to the numerical order established in M. J. Rouët de Journel''s Enchiridion Patristicum. In no sense, however, are these volumes a translation of that standard work. The author has made his own investigation of theological textbooks in common use and has selected the patristic passages most frequently cited, including much that is in Rouët and much that is not. All passages have been freshly and accurately translated from the best critical editions. Preceding each selection is a brief introduction treating the authorship, date and place of composition, and the purpose of the work from which the selection is taken. The author''s scholarship and sprightly sense of humor are evident in these prefatory remarks. Of immense value to the reader is the Doctrinal Index provided for each volume. Here one can find the texts pertinent to particular doctrinal points, a method especially useful to homilists. In addition, each volume is enhanced by comprehensive Scriptural and General Indices.
