Extract
‘Notre époque a vu bien des sécularlsations, sur le bienfait desquelles on n'a pas toujours été d'accord. Il me semble que la sécularisation de la liturgie ne choquerait personne et que tous les esprits droits y verraient un progrès vers une vérité plus entière.’ Thus wrote the late Michel Andrieu in 1948 at the conclusion of his ‘avant-propos’ to the second volume of his great edition, Les Ordines Romani du haut moyen âge. ‘Secularization’ is a strange word to apply to the critical study of any subject, be it ever so sacred, but it is obvious that the distinguished author considered his work part of a progressive movement, one which indeed he had himself promoted and was promoting as few other men of our time. This movement may be said to have begun with the publication of Léopold Delisle's famous Métnoire sur d'anciens sacramentaires, published in 1886 in the Mémoires de l'Académic des inscriptions et bellesletires.

12 In 1945, within four years after the appearance of the Index and two years before the publication of Part One of the project itself, a Répertoire hymnologique des manuscrits liturgiques dans les bibliothèques publiques de Hongrie was published by Rad, D.ó as a kind of by-product, a valuable ‘instrument de travail’ for students of hymnology. It is based on the examination of 196 manuscripts and on manuscript notes found in 144 books (see also Rado, Nyamtatott liturgikus könyveink kezirasos bejegyzesei, Les notices manuscrits des livres liturgiques imprimés [Budapest 1944]).Google Scholar

: ‘Dieses Sakramentar fragment ist mit das älteste Zeugnis für den S-Typus …’; and with this statement compare the following comment on MS Angelica F. A. 1408 (op. cit. 113): ‘Sie ist möglicherweise die älteste Hs des genannten Typus’. More recently, however, Gamber's opinion concerning the relative antiquity of these two fragments would seem to have become more definite; see his article, ‘Il Sacramentario di Paolo Diacono,’ Rivista di storia della Chiesa in Italia 16 (1962) 430: ‘L'esemplare più antico dell’ Italia del nord risale alla seconda metà del s. VIII e fu scritto (secondo l'opinione di
Bischoff, B.

(nos. 832, 833). che già abbiamo ricordato. Un altro frammento, pure della seconda metà del s.

(E. Bourque, Études sur les Sacramentaires romains II2 [Roma 1958] 280, is in error when he cites this article of Kniewald in connection with the Pray codex.

The complete text of the Cisioianus of the Pray codex was published by Zalán, M., ‘A Pray-Kodex Forrasahoz,’ MK 33 (1926) 266 269. By way of illustration, the first two verses are here reprinted : 1 6 13 14 16 Ci. si. o. ia. nus. e. piph. si. bi. ven. di. cat. oc. fe. li. mar. cel. 18 20 21 22 24 25 Pris. ca. fab. ag. vin. cen. thim. pau. lus. no. bi. le. lu. men The numerals indicating the place in the distich of the syllable beneath give also the dates of the respective feasts. Accordingly, we have the following list of feasts for the month of January: 1. Circumcision, 6. Epiphany, 13. Octave of the Epiphany, 14. Felix, 16. Marcellus, 18. Prisca, 20. Fabian (and Sebastian), 21. Agnes, 22. Vincent. 24. Timothy, 25. Conversion of St. Paul.Google Scholar
30 This is what the writer understands Radó to say: ‘Assumpsi etiam festa, quae tantum in Cisioiano leguntur, minime in Kalendario: et notantur: “C.” Festa in Sacramentario Maiori tantum occurrentia notantur cum “S1,” demum in Sacramentario supplementario solum occurrentia cum “82.”’ But there are one or two discrepancies. Thus, for 23. iv, one reads after ‘Agapiti mr.’: C. S/1. S/2: ‘Adalberti’; and for 24. iv, after ‘Georgii mr. et Adalberti epi. et mr.’: C. S/1. S/2: ‘Georgii mr.’ But this is the only place where I have noted any confusion. On July 18, read after ‘Octava Benedicti, S. ’: ‘C: Arnulfi’ (if Kniewald, K.'s table is correct, ‘A Pray-Kodex Sanctorale-ja,’ MK 63 [1939] 9).Google Scholar
31 Cf. Zalán, M., ‘Das früheste Vorkommen des Festes Praesentatio B. V. M. im Abendland,’ EL 41 (1927) 188–189; translated by Sister Mary Jerome Kishpaugh, O.P., The Presentation of the Virgin Mary in the Temple (Washington, D.C. 1941) 73–74. Evidently, Edmund Bishop's discussion of the feast of the Oblatio of Our Lady — found in Anglo-Saxon calendars and liturgical books of a still earlier date than that of the Pray Codex, viz., of the tenth and eleventh centuries (Liturgica Historica [Oxford 1918] 257–258) — had not come to Zalán's attention. In any event, the term Repraesentacio presents an interesting semantic or lexicographical problem, for Oblatio is a much more natural title in view of such Greek texts as that found In the ninth- or tenth-century Typicon of the Great Church of Constantinople (Patmos MS 266) for 21. XI : Σύναξις τῆς ἁγιας Θεοτόϰον, ὅτε ἀπεδόθη ὑπò τῶν γονέων αὐτῆς, πϱοσενεχθεῖσα ἐν τῷ ναῷ ϰνϱίοντϱιετίζονσα (A. Dmitrievski, Description of the Liturgical Manuscripts preserved in the Libraries of the Orthodox East 1. Typica 1 [in Russian; Kiev 1895] 25), and the corresponding entry in Cod. Sinait. 150, a tenth- or eleventh-century Kanonarion: Τῆς ἁγίας Θεοτόϰον, ὅτε πϱοσηνέχθη ἐν τῷ ναῷ τοῦ Θεοῦ τϱιετὴς οὖσα (op. cit. 203). Many other documents remain to be examined, of course, and the meaning of repraesentatio and related words must also be studied, but this word would seem to have been suggested here by some form of πϱοσψέϱειν. Interesting, too, is the fact that the common title of the oldest Greek calendars, Τὰ εἰσόδια τῆς Θεοτόϰον (A. Ehrhard, Überlieferung und Bestand der hagiographischen und homiletischen Literatur der griechischen Kirche 1 [Leipzig 1937] 29), does not appear in either the Anglo-Saxon books cited by Bishop nor here in the Pray Codex. It must suffice to have called attention to the problem, which is all the more interesting in view of the fact that the Office introduced at Avignon about 1370 was entitled Officium Praesentationis (Kishpaugh, op. cit. 95ff.; also Young, K., The Drama of the Medieval Church (Oxford 1933) II 226 f., 473–78.Google Scholar

41 It is interesting to find this feast observed in Hungary within a comparatively short time after the ‘finding’ and ‘elevation’ of the relics of the Three Patriarchs (Comte Riant, ‘Invention de la Sépulture des Patriarches Abraham, Isaac et Jacob à Hebron le 25 juin 1119,’ Archives de l'Orient latin 2 [1884] 411–21; concerning the ‘elevation” of the relics, see the account written by an anonymous canon of the Latin priory of Hebron [French translation, loc. cit. 418; the Latin original is cited in the Comptes Rendus de l'Académie des Inscriptions et belles-lettres (1883) 4. sér. 11 31]). The feast, which is found in calendars, of the Church of the Holy Sepulchre at Jerusalem before the middle of the century (Rome Bibl. Angelica MS 477 [D. 7. 3], written about 1140; Paris lat. 12056, written between 1140 and 1149; cf. Buchtal, Hugo, Miniature Painting in the Latin Monarchy of Jerusalem [Oxford 1957 ] 107ff:. The Appendix I. Calendar of the Church of the Holy Sepulchre, Jerusalem, by Francis Wormald), is found in eight other manuscripts described by Radó (MSS 94, 214, 216, 219, 220, 280, 395, and MS U2. VI. 5 of the Diocesan Library of Eger).Google Scholar
42 This title is fully explained by the collect, which is an amplification of that found in the Old Gelasian (Regin. lat. 316) for the Vigil of the Epiphany: Corda nostra, quaesumus domine, sanctus splendor tue incarnacionis, natiuitatis, circumcisionis, apparicionis, oblacionis, baptismi, transfiguracionis, beate passionis, et ammirabilis resurreccionis, ascensionisque atque aduentus spiritus sancti dementi respectu illustret, quo mundi huius tenebris carere ualeamus et ipso nos ducente in omnem uiam ueritatis perueniamus ad patriam claritatis eterne. (Cf. Liber Sacramentorum Romanae Ecclesiae ordinis anni circuii, edd. Mohlberg, L. C., Eizenhöfer, L., Siffrin, P. [Roma 1960] 14.57.) A ‘Missa de Mysteriis D. n. I. C.,’ which may well be identical with this formulary of the Pray codex, is twice cited by Leroquais, Sacramentaires 1.361 (Reims MS 226 [C.135] s. XII ex.) and 2.6 (Reims MS 229 [C.133] s. XII/XIII), but no portion of the text is given.Google Scholar
43 For certain prayers Radó refers to Franz, A., Die kirchlichen Benediktionen im Mittelalter (Freiburg i. Br. 1909) 636-40, and to the same scholar's edition of the Ritual of St-Florian (God. Flor. XI 467; ibid. 1904) 99–101. The sequence of the prayers varies according to locale (cf. the Sacramentarium Fuldense [Göttingen, University Library, Cod. theol. 231], edd. Richter, G. and Sch, A. önfelder [Fulda 1912] 371.2803–377.2852; El Sacramentario de Vich [Museu Episcopal, MS 66], ed. Olivar, Dom A.

72 A similar addition is found on fol. 1 of c. 1. m. ae. 214, a fourteenth-century book (at n. 54 supra), where only thirteen saints are enumerated, Margaret being omitted. — Mention may be made here of Joseph Klapper's brilliant study, ‘Die Vierzehn Nothelfer im deutschen Osten’ (Volk und Volkstum, hrsg. von Georg Schreiber 3 [Munich 1938]) 158–92, a work of exceptional value on the liturgical side. Important, too, is Schreiber, G.'s recent monograph, Die Vierzehn Nothelfer in Volksfrömmigkeit und Sakralkultur (Schlern-Schriften 168; Innsbruck 1959), nor indeed may Adolf Franz's brief discussion, Die Messe im deutschen Mittelalter (Freiburg i.

103 See note 11. (15) (p. 489 above). — According to local tradition, the codex had been presented to the Chapter of Nitra by Bishop George Szelepchényi, who ruled that diocese from 1648–1658. From 1919 to June 1942 it lay in the treasury of the cathedral of Esztergom. Thus it was that Radó had an opportunity to study it. Fortunately, he included a description of it in the present catalogue, even though it is no longer in an Hungarian library. Google Scholar

112 It is interesting to note that the only other Benedictional known to be of Hungarian provenance, Zagreb MR 89, belongs to a much earlier period, for it antedates the year 1083 (K.

Század],’ MK 65 [1941] 213–231; German résumé, 308–309); see also the same author's description of this manuscript in Croatia sacra (note 21 supra, in fine) 10.12–16. Google Scholar
113 It is to be noted that the peculiarities included under this heading are ‘specialia’ only with reference to modern Roman use. None of them was uncommon or extraordinary in its time and place, and one of them is not even today a ‘speciale,’ for Is. 62.11; 63.7 is still the first of the two lessons which precede the reading of the Passion according to St. Luke on Wednesday of Holy Week.

114 It is clear that ‘Tabellae’ VI to XI inclusive have no relevance to the content of the present volume. They were drawn up with a view to the still unpublished Part Two of Radó's project, that is, to help in the study of the books used in the choral offices — Psalters, Breviaries, Lectionaries of the Night Office, and ‘Promptuaria,’ which final category the author describes as follows: ‘codices qui plne non possent haberi liturgici, tamen nondum sunt “libri horarum” (livre d'heure) mere usui privato deservientes’ (p. 6).
