The Gottschalk Antiphonary
Author: Lisa Fagin Davis
language: en
Publisher: Cambridge University Press
Release Date: 2000-02-24
Lisa Fagin Davis offers the first photographic reconstruction of the extant leaves of the Gottschalk Antiphonary, an important twelfth-century manuscript from the Austrian monastery in Lambach. The Gottschalk Antiphonary, which was dismantled for binding scrap in the fifteenth century, is examined from various angles - art historical, liturgical, and musical - and its contributions to the study of medieval drama and the long-term ramifications of the investiture controversy are explored. The manuscript is studied within the historical and political context within which it was created, in order to better understand the decisions which went into its production. In addition to a black-and-white facsimile of the recovered portion of the manuscript, the book includes a survey of the twelfth-century Lambach scriptorium and a detailed codicological reconstruction of the codex. Appendices of charts and tables demonstrate how the Gottschalk Antiphonary compares to other liturgical manuscripts from the same period.

Where and how do we encounter God’s revelation made once for-all in Christ Jesus? The answer to this urgent question is explored in Matthias Joseph Scheeben’s Handbook of Catholic Dogmatics, Book One: Theological Epistemology, Part One: The Objective Principles of Theological Knowledge, here translated for the first time in English by Michael J. Miller. Scheeben (1835–1888), a renowned German theologian, in this unabridged first part of a two-volume set, begins with a discussion of the nature and scope of dogmatic theology as a science. He treats divine revelation as the source of theological knowledge and as transmitted in Scripture and in the Apostolic Tradition. Included in this volume is Scheeben’s treatise, “The Objective Principles of Theological Knowledge.” Scheeben writes on faith in its source, contents, and handing on in the Church as it confronts the believer, eliciting his or her assent.
54 Years That Changed the Catholic Church

What should Catholics think about the New Rite of the Mass in the language of the people? What should we think about the Latin Mass now being granted by Benedict XVI, following in the foot steps of John Paul II? What should we think about the assembly in Assisi, which is justified by the Vatican II? Do Moslems worship the same God as Catholics? In 1958 the Catholic Church had not been plagued with an Antipope for over a half a millennium. And then Pope Pius XII died and Angelo Roncalli took the name and number of the claimants to the papacy from the Western Schism, John XXIII. Like the first John XXIII, this John XXIII also called for a Council. The first John XXIII resigned in favor of the new election at the Council of Constance, which led to the end of the Western Schism. This John XXIII called for a Council in the Vatican that led to the Great Apostasy, as prophesied in Sacred Scripture. Soon the New World Order had a New Mass and New Sacraments to go along with the New Theology of the Second Vatican Council also called Vatican II. Soon the altars in Catholic churches were replaced with tables and the priest became the President of the Assembly on his throne where once the holy altar stood. What were Catholics to do? An Archbishop rose up and called these New Sacramental Rites bastards and Catholics rallied around him, but were soon dismayed when he compromised with the very bastards who had give us these bastard rites. Another Archbishop rose up and declared the John Paul II an Antipope and began arranging to end the vacancy in the Papacy by consecrating Bishops to call for a Papal Election, but this would not come to pass. Catholics soon began to realize that we were in worse times than the catacombs, for at least in the catacombs there was a Pope huddling with the persecuted Catholics. Now Catholics found themselves without priests who would preach the whole truth of the Faith to them. What was the solution? The second Archbishop actually had the solution, but was betrayed by the very men he consecrated to carry it out. The faithful realized that they could lawfully take the matters into their own hands and began the restoration of the Church in our head, so that the members could rally around the Vicar of Jesus Christ and bring an end to the Great Apostasy. All was done in accord with the teachings of the Catholic Church as found in the Councils, Canon Law and even the basic Catechism all had studied from their youth. Soon the Great Apostasy will end and the universal conversion all of the Fathers of the Church predict will happen after the death of Antichrist will occur. This is the period of peace the Blessed Virgin Mary predicted would soon happen. This book is a must read for any Catholic who wants to make sense of the last half a century of events in the Catholic Church. In addition to discussing the many things that have occurred some key little known documents are reproduced in the Appendices.
