The Eucharistic Institution Narrative of Justin Martyr's First Apology
Justin Martyr closes his First Apology by quoting at length the rescript which the emperor Hadrian addressed to Minucius Fundanus, proconsul of Asia, concerning the treatment of Christians and their accusers. The rescript is properly an appendix to the Apology , attached as a pièce justificative in support of Justin's final plea for toleration, which rounds off his description of the rites of Baptism and the Eucharist. The description itself is t…
The Early Roman Canon Missae
In 1950 the late Professor Ratcliff published in the first two numbers of this Journal an article entitled ‘The Sanctus and the Pattern of the Early Anaphora’. In it he argued that the recitation of the Sanctus formed the climax and doxology of the primitive Eucharistic Prayer. At the end of the article he wrote, ‘Why, if the pattern of the ancient Anaphora ever conformed with the reconstruction proposed here, was the pattern abandoned? The survi…
The Old Syrian Baptismal Tradition and its Resettlement under the Influence of Jerusalem in the Fourth Century
It is well known that the old Syrian, or to give it a more comprehensive description, the old Eastern liturgical usage of Baptism differed markedly from that which obtained in the West. The most obvious difference is one of pattern, and appears in connection with the ceremony known to us as Confirmation. In Western usage, as we find it in North Africa, described by Tertullian at the beginning of the third century in his De Baptismo , the act of b…

The Liturgical Work of archbishop Cranmer
In the introduction to what was for long the standard work upon the Prayer Book, Charles Wheatly's Rational Illustration of the Book of Common Prayer , the learned and industrious author refers to archbishop Cranmer as ‘the chief promoter of our excellent Reformation’, who ‘had a principal hand, not only in compiling the Liturgy, but in all the steps made towards it’. A commemoration of Cranmer which omitted to recall his liturgical projects and …
Some Recent Liturgical Books
Nothing could be more fitting than to begin a Liturgical Review with a notice of Dr. Oscar Cullmann's Early Christian Worship (Studies in Biblical Theology No. 10. Pp. 124. London: S.C.M. Press, 1953. 8s.). The English book is in two parts: the first entitled ‘Basic Characteristics of the Early Christian Service of Worship’, being a translation of Urchristentum und Gottesdienst (Zürich: Zwingli-Verlag, 1950); and the second, entitled ‘The Gospel …
The Sanctus and the Pattern of the Early Anaphora, I
In its directions for the procedure to be followed at the consecration of a bishop, the document now generally accepted as the Apostolic Tradition of Hippolytus of Rome contains, as is well known, the text of an anaphora or eucharistic prayer. Apart from several phrases, preserved in the anaphora of Apostolic Constitutions viii, the original Greek of the prayer attributed to Hippolytus is lost. For its textual basis, therefore, we must turn to wh…
The Sanctus and the Pattern of the Early Anaphora, II
If Justin Martyr and Irenaeus on one side and the Verona Latin anaphora on the other may be treated as mutually explanatory, it will appear that paragraphs (1), (2) and (3) of the Latin prayer may be taken in a general sense as representative of the centre of the original pattern. The task to be undertaken consists in effect, therefore, of recovering the head and tail of the pattern, or at least their broad outline and principal motifs
