4.0 out of 5 stars The standard introductory text on Medieval Liturgical Books, February 28, 2003
By 
Andrew Casad (Chapel Hill, NC) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: A History of Liturgical Books from the Beginning to the Thirteenth Century (Paperback)
Eric Palazzo is an instructor in medieval liturgiology who first found his way into liturgy via art history. He found the then stanard French language text by Cyril Vogel on medieval liturgical books inadequate for teaching his students. Many others has as well. Rasmussen translated the book into English and added a great deal of information, although in a disorganized fashion. So, Palazzo wrote his book. More concise, more clear and equally as annotated, Palazzo takes students through the bewildering array of medieval liturgical books, explaining their use, the known types, and much more. This is the definately the first place to turn when doing scholarly work with medieval liturgical texts. Unfortunately, however, the first chapter on the history of the study of medieval liturgical texts is terribly boring and should not be read unless one is particularly interested in the history of the study.

I have this book for a liturgical history class, and the authors do a fine job of reviewing different liturgical books.
