liturgical books are called to those containing the prayers and ceremonies determined by the Catholic Church for the administration of the Sacraments, celebrating the Mass and other exercise of sacred functions.
At first the Christian Community had no liturgical books. The training period begins the liturgical books in the early centuries. He had a particular momentum during the Carolingian period, when Charlemagne ordered a Sacramentary that was gradually spreading throughout the empire. The sacramentaries
The liturgical book of more importance in ancient times was the Sacramentary, because under this name meant a kind of incomplete Missal meeting the common prayers or prayers for the preparation of the Eucharist, which were collected and fixed in the high priests .... The Sacramentary 'veronense' or 'Encyclical' is a collection of various liturgical texts sources (for example, there are about thirty forms for the mass of Saint Peter and Paul). Since most of the formulas from the time of Pope Leo I the Great took that name. Is incomplete as it does not provide texts for the celebration of Lent, Easter and not the canon. The Sacramentary Gelasian
improperly attributed to Pope Gelasius I, is preserved in the Vatican Library. Known to have been produced in a monastery near Paris around the year 750. Mass contains proposals for the whole year and for some other events such as ordinations to the priesthood and diaconate, repentance, baptism, etc. The base is the Roman liturgy, but influenced by Gallican prayers and prayers.
The Gregorian Sacramentary sent to us through the collections that were made in the late eighth century. However, it is a collection of sacramentaries that were used in the time of Gregory the Great. His texts are the model of liturgical forms post-Vatican II because of its great simplicity. Lectionary
is the book used in liturgical celebrations to proclaim the Scripture texts.
In the early days of Christianity, at the beginning of the celebrations, they read the books of the prophets and of the Pentateuch, but not systematically or in an order given by some authority. Surely it was the method the synagogues where everyone was going to read the text continued from where it had been last time. Already in the Apology of Justin and the apostolic Constitutions (Century III) indicates that after reading a text of the Old Testament came to read a letter or made expressly stating that the gospel was read only by the priest or deacon.
Used books in this period were full transcripts of the sacred text with indications on the sidelines for the day or the period should be used. Therefore, it is also prepared lists or lists of texts in order to find the corresponding reading every day. These lists were called "capitulate Evangeliorum" or "lectionum capitulate."
During the fourth century and after the incipient formation of the liturgical calendar, it begins to develop a systematization of the texts according to the periods and holidays. The text of the pilgrim Egeria (ca. 384) contains an expression of admiration for in the liturgical celebrations of Jerusalem readings are adapted to the day and the area.
From the collections of homilies of Ambrose of Milan and Augustine of Hippo has been able to reconstruct the lectionary in use at that time. For the pontificate of Leo the Great the lectionary is completely fixed.
born in the sixth century when done properly the lectionary liturgical books for use with the texts of readings for each day. They were included in the texts of the Old and New Testaments, but the gospel was put aside in books called "Evangeliaries."
By the eleventh century began to disappear as lectionary books were published containing all the mass, including readings.
After the liturgical reform requested by the Second Vatican Council and taking into account the higher profile given in her reading of the texts, began to reprint the lectionary and gospels so that they could be used in procession at the beginning of the Mass. Other texts
the Antiphonary, with introits, gradual, offertory, etc.. Whose main author is the San Gregorio said.
the Missal, which originally was the Sacramentary and was later supplemented with the other books listed, to become whole Missal by the ninth century and remain in this form only for smaller churches. Currently, the Missal is not the whole, it contains the prayers of the Mass, but not reads. These are contained in the Lectionary.
the Blessings, which brings the blessings of the Church and is attributed largely to San Gregorio Magno
the Roman Pontifical and the Ritual, which embrace respectively the prayers and practices of the bishops or priests in the administration of the Sacraments which they are responsible. Liber
Oratorium or Officiarium, primitive book of prayer.
the breviary, or prayer book church for the Liturgy of the Hours, named briefly been determined since the eleventh century by St. Gregory VII and even more so by St. Pius V in the sixteenth century
the Martyrs, which contains the list of canonized saints with a brief overview of each, and that simply comes from the early centuries of the Church and, reduced to a regular codex dates from St. Jerome, the fourth century.
In Spain, were used during the first centuries of the Reconquista liturgical books according to the Mozarabic rite which was merely the continuation of the Visigoths, set by San Isidoro in the Council of Toledo IV (year 633) and offspring of apostolic traditions. In the last third of the eleventh century the Mozarabic rite was abolished for all Spain and replaced by the Romans, who sent San Gregorio VII. But there were some remnants of that original liturgy.
