The Durham Collectar by Alicia Correa

Few liturgical historians are aware that a book of collects for theDivine Office formed part of the service-books owned by a monk orpriest in Anglo-Saxon England. The Durham Collectar, misnamed the Durham Ritual'and tentatively dated to the tenth century, is the earliest collectar to have survived in England. Where did it come from, and how was it used? To answer the first, a new edition of the Latintext is presented in this volume, with extensive collationtablesshowing at a glance the most influential liturgical sources. In theintroduction, the function of the collectar is discussed
Une etude stimulante, non seulement du collectaire du Durham, mais aussi du collectaire comme categorie de livre liturgique.. un ouvrage digne d'une serie distinguee. REVUE D'HISTOIRE ECCLES. 2/93Clarif[ies] the history of collectars as a genre of liturgical book and the place of this document among examplars of the group, and present[s] an `emended' version of the Durham Collectar collated with sources and other collections. * ALBION *
