The liturgy of the Holy Sepulchre is the use created
by the Latin Catholics who settled in Jerusalem as a result of the
first crusade, in 1099. It originated within the cathedral church of
the Holy Sepulchre, the patriarchal see, and it was consequently
adopted by most of the religious institutions within the
patriarchate.
Although completely western, it does not follow the
liturgical use practised in any single western diocese. Dr Dondi traces
its individual components from diverse western sources, showing how the
liturgy of the Holy Sepulchre has a composite nature.
There are
no narrative or legislative records that shed light on when or by whom
or how this new liturgical use was created: only through examination of
the surviving liturgical manuscripts has it been possible to answer
these questions.
This study analyses the characteristics of the
liturgy of the Holy Sepulchre and, most importantly, identifies its
western sources through a method of comparative liturgy drawing on the
widest range of western liturgical uses. It shows the process through
which liturgical elements from Bayeux, Évreux, Paris, and Chartres were
incorporated as constituent parts of the liturgy of the Holy Sepulchre,
providing new evidence for our understanding of the ecclesiastical
organisation of Latin Jerusalem and Antioch. When liturgical borrowings
are seen in their historical context, it becomes possible to identify
some of the people most responsible for the liturgys
development.
The work
includes a descriptive catalogue of the 18 liturgical manuscripts of
the holy Sepulchre, produced and used in Jerusalem, Acre, Caesarea,
Tyre, Antioch, and Cyprus.
Dr Cristina Dondi is J. P. R. Lyell
Research Fellow in the History of the Early Modern Printed Book in the
University of Oxford and a Fellow of Lincoln College. Her research
focuses on the study of liturgical texts, both manuscript and printed,
to derive otherwise lost or unrecorded historical
information.
