>>> I was wondering if Isaiah's passage on beating swords
>>> into plowshares (2:4) was part of medieval liturgy in Northern
>>> France. Do you know about that or know who/what I should consult?
>>
>>
>> I received the question above from a friend. I responded that Isaiah
>> 2: 1-5 was commonly read at the first Sunday of Advent (so Roman
>> Missal and Book of Common Prayer), but does anyone know for sure
>> whether the lectionary in medieval N. France was different? What's
>> the best source for this?

> For the BCP for 1st Sunday in Advent (the whole of Isaiah 2) this is
> quite late (i.e. not in 1549 or 1552), and for Evensong. In the Sarum
> Use, the Chapter at 1st Vespers (the nearest equivalent) for the 1st
> Sunday in Advent is Isaiah 2:2 only.

> Isaiah 2:2-5 was the lesson at Mass in the Sarum Use for Ember
> Wednesday in the third week in Advent. (Tyndale mistakes it for the
