Although it first appeared in 1881 Frederick Edward Warren’s The Liturgy and Ritual of the Celtic Church is still the most important modern source for the study of the liturgy of Ireland in the Pre-Norman period. The complete text of the original work is reproduced in this new edition of The Liturgy and Ritual of the Celtic Church. In addition two further hard-to-come-by texts are reproduced in this volume. The Stowe Missal is one of the most significant liturgical manuscripts of Irish provenance. An important critical edition of The Stowe Missal was prepared by Bartholemew MacCathy and published in the Transactions of the Royal Irish Academy for 1886. MacCarthy’s edition has still not been superseded and should be used for any serious study. A second additional text that is reproduced in this volume is a critical edition and English translation of “The Leabhair Breac Tractate on the Consecration of a Church,” an Old Irish liturgical text edited by Whitley Stokes and until now only available in an obscure Italian festschrift edition from 1901.

The editor of this edition is the Rev. Dr. Neil Xavier O’Donoghue, who recently completed his PhD dissertation on the subject of the Eucharist in Pre-Norman Ireland. In the introduction he provides readers with an overview of the developments in the field of early Irish liturgy since the publication of Warren’s masterpiece and situates it in the line of significant subsequent publications.

ContributorBiography

FrederickWarren

F.E. Warren (November 10, 1842 - December 20, 1930) was a Church of England clergyman and a fellow, and later Vice-President, of St. John's College, Oxford. Later he left the college to pursue pastoral ministry in a number of parishes. Warren was very interested in the early Irish and Anglo-Saxon Churches. He prepared the earliest critical editions of a number of important liturgical works of the British Isles. Among these The Liturgy and Ritual of the Celtic Church is the most important and still today retains its relevance.

The Filioque Impasse

A fascinating study of the underlying reasons for the disagreement over the clause “and the Son” in the Western version of the Niceno-Constantinopolitan creed, which contributed to the schism between Eastern and Western Christians. Coetzee argues that there has been a great deal of misunderstanding of the positions of each tradition by the other, partly due to the fact that East and West imbue certain key words, such as ‘person’ and ‘unity’, with different meanings which Coetzee believes come from different understandings of Hellenic philosophy. Against this backdrop, Coetzee sets about clearing up some of the misunderstandings.
