medieval-religion: Scholarly discussions of medieval religion and culture Though Experience of Worship was (deliberately) rather later liturgical developments (John Harper actually went for 1530s, partly because of availability of more standardised printed Sarum rites).

A said mass was supposed to be private - i.e. only the priest and a server present. If there was any sort of 'congregation' the priest should have sung (intoned or chanted) the whole lot. (Which is another reason for drafting in a deacon and subdeacon...) The modern 'Low Mass' seems to be a modern invention. > > Have a look for the "Experience of Worship" project and the associated videos and book. > > John Briggs ********************************************************************** To join the list, send the message: subscribe medieval-religion YOUR NAME to: [log in to unmask] To send a message to the list, address it to: [log in to unmask] To leave the list, send the message: unsubscribe medieval-religion to: [log in to unmask] In order to report problems or to contact the list's owners, write to: [log in to unmask] For further information, visit our web site: http://www.jiscmail.ac.uk/medieval-religion ********************************************************************** To join the list, send the message: subscribe medieval-religion YOUR NAME to: [log in to unmask] To send a message to the list, address it to: [log in to unmask] To leave the list, send the message: unsubscribe medieval-religion to: [log in to unmask] In order to report problems or to contact the list's owners, write to: [log in to unmask] For further information, visit our web site: http://www.jiscmail.ac.uk/medieval-religion
