Horae Liturgicae

Horae Liturgicae is a book written by Richard Mant and published in 1845. The book is a comprehensive study of liturgical practices, focusing on the discrepancies and harmonies found in various liturgical traditions. Mant examines the liturgies of the Anglican Church, the Roman Catholic Church, and the Eastern Orthodox Church, among others, and provides detailed analysis of their similarities and differences. The book is divided into two main parts, with the first part focusing on liturgical discrepancies and the second part on liturgical harmony. In the first part, Mant discusses the various ways in which different liturgical traditions diverge from one another, such as differences in the order of service, the use of different prayers and readings, and variations in the use of music and vestments. In the second part, Mant explores the ways in which different liturgical traditions can be brought into harmony with one another. He argues that despite their differences, all liturgical traditions share a common purpose and can be seen as different expressions of the same fundamental beliefs and practices. He suggests ways in which liturgical practices can be adapted and modified to create a more unified and harmonious approach to worship. Overall, Horae Liturgicae is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history and practice of Christian liturgy. Mant's detailed analysis and thoughtful reflections on the nature of liturgical practices offer insights into the ways in which different traditions can be brought together in a spirit of unity and mutual understanding.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
