Summary/Abstract: Eucological texts of the Spanish-Mozarabic Rite contain many interesting anthropological insights which are the result of historical circumstances in which liturgy took shape on the Iberian Peninsula (discussions with Arianism, Adaptionism or Priscilianism). The article consists of two parts: the frst one examines the texts from the Mass for the beginning of the year (in initio anni) in the Spanish rite, which brings out the cronosophical framework of reflection on man in his dynamics of becoming and his greatest aspirations. The second part is devoted to the Mozarabic understanding of human nature and its relation to God’s grace, corporality and spirituality in order to focus on some anthropological categories, such as affectio, devotio or vota, around which individual and communal anthropology of the Spanish rite is grounded.
