Information

Settant’anni fa Bonifaas Luykx pubblicò uno studio sulle origini dell’Ordo missae che segnò una svolta decisiva nella ricerca su questo tema. Nel corso dei decenni successivi numerosi studiosi hanno arricchito il panorama degli studi in questo ambito e, al tempo stesso, sollecitato una nuova valutazione delle ipotesi di Luykx. Il presente volume propone per la prima volta una traduzione italiana del suo contributo, accompagnata da una revisione accurata e da un aggiornamento delle note a pie’ di pagina. Un’ampia bibliografia degli studi sull’Ordo missae classico e sul nuovo Ordo missae offre a studenti e studiosi uno strumento di riferimento solido e aggiornato per ulteriori ricerche.

Seventy years ago, Bonifaas Luykx published a study on the origins of the Ordo missae that marked a decisive turning point in research on this subject. Over the following decades, numerous scholars enriched the field of study in this area and, at the same time, called for a new assessment of Luykx’s hypotheses. This volume offers, for the first time, an Italian translation of his contribution, accompanied by a careful revision and an updating of the footnotes. An extensive bibliography of studies on the classical Ordo missae and on the new Ordo missae provides students and scholars with a solid and up-to-date reference tool for further research.
