For a quick overview on the Sacraments for medieval England, see Eamon
Duffy, The Stripping of the Altars, Yale. For the whole eagle's eye view of
the Eucharist, there is Dom Gregory Dix, The Shape of the Liturgy, plus he
has an essay on anointing, another on aumbries. The Oxford Movement revived
medieval practices so some of their Victorian books may be useful, but
generally Sarum. For instance Arthur Mason, The Relation of Baptism to
Confirmation. There's the Henry Bradshaw Society series publishing
liturgical texts from manuscripts. What period, what countries are you questing?

shalt not be diseased.' But he said, 'Thou shalt not be overcome'.
