Summary/Abstract: The reform of the Catholic liturgy following the Second Vatican Council was primarily concerned with the Roman Rite, but two other liturgical traditions of the Western Church – the Ambrosian Rite in Milan and the Mozarabic Rite in Toledo – also required renewal. The revision of the Roman liturgical books was followed by a similar revision of the Ambrosian Missal, Lectionary, Liturgy of the Hours and the rituals of some sacraments. The renewed Mozarabic missal and lectionary (Liber Commicus) were published between 1991 and 1995. The reform of the Ambrosian and Mozarabic Rites in the past forty years has shown the liturgy as one of the most important components of the identity of the local Church.
