Synopsis
This book explores the origins and evolution of the Gilbertine Use, a variant of the Roman Rite used by the Order of Saint Gilbert of Sempringham, founded in the twelfth century. The book draws on four surviving manuscripts to present the prayers, ceremonies, and ordinances that defined the Gilbertine liturgy. These texts provide unique insights into the daily lives and spiritual practices of this important religious order, which played a significant role in English medieval society. Through an analysis of the liturgical sources, the author traces the development of the Gilbertine Use from its Cistercian roots. It examines the influence of local English traditions and customs on the shaping of the rite, offering a nuanced understanding of the interplay between liturgy and religious identity. This study sheds light on the diverse and dynamic nature of medieval English religious life, highlighting the ways in which different monastic communities adapted and transformed the dominant liturgical practices of their time.
