The definitive work on the ceremonies of the Mass and the other rites of the Catholic Church; this edition lightly revised to bring it in line with the liturgical books of 1962.

There is something delightful about holding and perusing this volume. It was for most of the 20th Century the authoritative guide in English to the ceremonies of the Mass. Fortescue writes with clarityy, economy and style. I love that my volume has St Michael's Shoreditch" in pencil on the flyleaf,

and that it is a first edition. It is of course today an obscure work, but one that delights me.
