Explore Sweden’s sacred rite through history and translation.
This nonfiction volume presents a clear window into the medieval and early modern mass as practiced in Sweden, drawing on missals, breviaries, and manuals preserved in Swedish and other libraries. It explains how editors stitched together Latin and vernacular texts to show the ceremony’s shape, while noting the challenges of translating liturgical language from the past.
Two sections of scholarly interest anchor the book: a historical framing that traces how Swedish masses evolved alongside European practice, and a presentation of the actual liturgical texts, with English renderings that aim to convey substance even when literary color is muted. Readers will find careful notes about sources, editorial choices, and the cultural context that shaped these rites."Sinopsis" puede pertenecer a otra edición de este libro.
Excerpt from The Mass in Sweden: Its Development From the Latin Rite From 1531 to 1917
The present volume is a small contribution to the study of the Swedish liturgy, and gives a brief survey of the development of the office of the mass in Sweden from pre-reformation times until to-day. Five mass offices are reproduced. The first is a transcription of the medieval Latin mass, which has been done in some detail for the purpose of illustrating the fact that the modern mass has preserved the form, and in many respects the Spirit, of the medieval rite.1 English translations of the remaining four vernacular masses are set down alongside the Swedish originals. The variables are supplied for the Easter festival. In the case of John iii's Red Book, a few copies of which survive, the Latin text is here reprinted for the first time since the sixteenth century. In every case the text of the mass has been so arranged as to indicate the divisions into which the mass has been cast during the last millennium. These divisions may be tabulated thus I. The preparation for the mass. 2. The induction. The lections. The offertory. The preface. The canon OF the action. The lord's prayer. The communion.
