>What is the exact meaning of "missarum
>solemnia"? Does this phrase imply a Mass with
>deacon and subdeacon, or a sung Mass, or a Mass
>in a public church? Does it imply a distinction
>from a simple "missa", or are both generic
>terms? Does the vocabulary undergo a change of
>meaning from, say, the 12th century to the 14th?
>Is there a literature on the subject?
>
>I'm looking at Blaise, Vocabulaire latin des
>principaux thèmes liturgiques, no. 239: he
>suggests no distinction between the names but
>the few examples are all very early (before
>Gregory the Great) and I'm interested rather in
>the 13th century.
>
>I notice a text from the Summa theologiae which
>seems to suggest that "missarum solemnia"
>indicates a public Mass, but is that what is
>intended and is it the common meaning of the
>phrase? I would be very grateful for any
>suggestions.

>IIIª q. 83 a. 5 ad 12: Ad duodecimum dicendum
>quod in solemni celebratione Missae plures
>debent adesse. Unde Soter Papa dicit, ut habetur
>de Consecr., dist. I, hoc quoque statutum est,
>ut nullus presbyterorum Missarum solemnia
>celebrare praesumat, nisi, duobus praesentibus
>sibique respondentibus, ipse tertius habeatur,
>quia, cum pluraliter ab eo dicitur, dominus
>vobiscum, et illud in secretis, orate pro me,
>apertissime convenit ut ipsi respondeatur
>salutationi. Unde et, ad maiorem solemnitatem,
>ibidem statutum legitur quod episcopus cum
>pluribus Missarum solemnia peragat. In Missis
>tamen privatis sufficit unum habere ministrum,
>qui gerit personam totius populi Catholici, ex
>cuius persona sacerdoti pluraliter respondet.
