The Mass In Sweden: Its Development From The Latin Rite, From 1531 To 1917 (1920)

""The Mass in Sweden: Its Development from the Latin Rite, from 1531 to 1917"" is a historical account of the development of the Catholic Mass in Sweden over a period of almost four centuries. Written by Eric Esskildsen Yelverton and originally published in 1920, the book traces the evolution of the Mass from its Latin roots to the Swedish-language liturgy that was ultimately adopted in the early 20th century. Yelverton provides a detailed analysis of the various factors that contributed to this transformation, including political and social changes in Sweden, as well as the influence of the wider Catholic Church. The book also explores the role of key figures in the development of the Swedish Mass, including bishops and other leaders within the Catholic community. Overall, ""The Mass in Sweden"" provides a fascinating and informative look at the history of Catholicism in Sweden, and the evolution of its central liturgical practice.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
