The Ancient Liturgies Of The Gallican Church (1855)

The Ancient Liturgies of the Gallican Church is a historical and liturgical work written by John Mason Neale in 1855. The book explores the ancient liturgies of the Gallican Church, which was the Christian Church in Gaul (modern-day France) from the 3rd to the 8th century. The author provides a detailed analysis of the liturgical practices of the Gallican Church, including the structure, prayers, and rituals of the Mass. Neale also examines the differences between the Gallican liturgy and the Roman Mass, as well as the influence of the Eastern Church on the Gallican liturgy. The book includes translations of several ancient Gallican liturgies, as well as notes and commentary by the author.
