Bible Missals are manuscripts that integrate liturgical prayers for the Mass with the scriptural texts of the Latin Vulgate. Long overlooked by scholars, Bible Missals offer important evidence for the development of the medieval liturgy and the liturgical use of scripture by medieval Christians. This monograph is the first comprehensive analysis of the codicology and contents of Bible Missals. Mostly produced in the first half of the 13th century by professional book makers in centers like Paris and Oxford, these hybrid manuscripts were customized for secular, monastic, and mendicant patrons. This monograph focuses on Dominican Bible Missals, the largest group within the repertoire, providing detailed codicological descriptions of each manuscript and analyzing their texts for the Order of Mass and selected liturgical formularies, including prayers for the feast of St. Dominic. For medieval Christians, the words and events of scripture were continually called to mind and reenacted in the sacramental rites of the Mass. Bible Missals provide important material evidence for this interplay between word and sacrament.

"This text is a supplement to Dominican Liturgy Publications' recently issued Propers of the Office for the Order of Preachers (2018). Friars using that volume have asked whether it is possible to have a companion volume with the prayers and short biographies of the Dominican blesseds not on the general calendar to the Order. Normally, these blesseds are liturgically celebrated with the rank of optional memorial only in the province where they worked or died. If their shrine is located in a Dominican priory, their day has, however, the rank of obligatory memorial in that community. It is possible, of course, to celebrate these blesseds outside of their provinces, if there is spiritual or pastoral reasons, again with the rank of optional memorial. The short biographies here presented are mostly giving in the translations found in the "Orange Book," that is, the Supplement to the Liturgy of the Hours for the Order of Preachers (Chicago: Dominican Liturgy Commission, 1991). For Dominicans beatified or canonized after 1991, however, translations of their short biographies were made, or, if necessary, composed for this publication. Their prayers are those prepared by the Dominican Liturgical Commission in Rome as part of the new translation of Dominican propers for the Roman Missal circulated among the provinces in 2012. These collects are also found in the Missal for the Order of Preachers (Oakland: Dominican Liturgy Publications, 2017). I pray that this publication will increase knowledge of and devotion to these less-well-known holy brothers and sisters of our Order. Fr. Augustine Thompson, O.P., St. Albert the Great Priory, June 12, 2018."--

The Order of Preachers has famously bred some of the leading intellectual lights of the Middle Ages. While Dominican achievements in theology, philosophy, languages, law, and sciences have attracted much scholarly interest, their significant engagement with liturgy, the visual arts, and music remains relatively unexplored. These aspects and their manifold interconnections form the focal point of this interdisciplinary volume. The different chapters examine how early Dominicans positioned themselves and interacted with their local communities, where they drew their influences from, and what impact the new Order had on various aspects of medieval life. The contributors to this volume address issues as diverse as the making and illustrating of books, services for a king, the disposition of liturgical space, the creation of new liturgies, and a Dominican-made music treatise. In doing so, they seek to shed light on the actions and interactions of medieval Dominicans in the first centuries of the Order's existence.

A sequel to The Death of Christian Culture, this spiritual treatise covers social, cultural, and political topics. It explores the importance of religious knowledge and faith to the health of a culture, provides a historical sketch of the change in cultural and educational standards over the last two centuries, and illustrates how literary and other visual arts either contribute to a culture or conspire to tear it down. Compared to a series of sermons, this analysis explains that there is a continuing extinction of the cultural patrimony of ancient Greece, Rome, medieval Europe, and the early modern period of Western civilization, owing to the pervasive bureaucratization, mechanization, and standardization of increasing materialism.

Since the time of Martin Luther, many have claimed that the Catholic Mass is an unbiblical practice, that it repudiates the once-for-all sacrifice of Christ on the cross of Calvary as expressed in the book of Hebrews. Still others have denied that Christ is truly present in the Eucharist. Do these criticisms have any validity? A through investigation of Scripture and history reveals that the answer is a resounding NO. As never before, the Catholic Church has been called upon to be the defender of Scripture and preserver of truth in modern times. Not by Bread Alone will set the biblical and historical record straight. But more importantly, as you learn the real truth about the Catholic Mass, this book will offer you the means to come to one of the deepest relationships with God you have ever experienced.
