Expositio Antiquae Liturgiae Gallicanae as a Witness of the Gallican Liturgy. A Translation with Commentary

Summary/Abstract: Expositio antiquae liturgiae gallicanae is an anonymous text dating probably from the eighth century, from the area of Gaul. It consists of two distinct parts called ‘letters’, each being a valuable source for the study of the Gallican liturgy prior to the introduction of the Roman order into the Carolingian kingdom. Furthermore, the writing can point to the direc- tions from which the Gallican liturgy may have originated, since the anonymous author, on the one hand, is well acquainted with distinctive features of the Spanish liturgy of the time, while, on the other hand, the allegorical interpretations used in the text are based on the in- terpretations of Eastern writers (Germanus of Constantinopole or Theodore of Mopsuestia). The aims of this paper are, first and foremost, to make this valuable source of knowledge about the liturgy available to the Polish reader in the Polish language, but also to clarify certain contentious issues which may arise during the reading of the text.
