Críticas:

Anton Baumstark is a monumental figure of liturgical scholarship of the twentieth century. This English translation by Fritz West of [On the Historical Development of the Liturgy] ... proves that he still demands serious attention.... West has rendered Baumstark's difficult and infelicitous German writing style into readable and, in many cases, elegant English prose. West, an ordained minister of the United Church of Christ, makes his own extraordinary contribution to liturgical research in this translation and annotation of Baumstark's early work. He is to be congratulated for his accomplishment.L. Edward Phillips, Worship Fritz West, himself a methodological master of comparative liturgical study, has provided all of us with a great service in the publication of his excellent translation of Anton Baumstark's work. Together with Baumstark's classic Comparative Liturgy, which set the methodological agenda for most of contemporary historical-liturgical study, English scholars and students now have another significant Baumstark work on method at their disposal. Not to be overlooked are the fine contextual introduction by West and the preface by the great Eastern liturgiologist in the Baumstark school, Fr. Robert Taft, SJ. This book demonstrates beyond a shadow of a doubt that Baumstark's foundational methods of Liturgiewissenschaft, also known as `comparative liturgy,' have a bright future indeed if we are to say anything at all about the history of liturgy. Thank you for doing this, Fritz.Maxwell E. Johnson University of Notre Dame Notre Dame, IN

Reseña del editor:

In 1921, Anton Baumstark delivered two lectures on the development of the Roman Rite to a gathering at the Abbey of Maria Laach. Abbot Ildefons Herwegen offered to publish those lectures, but Baumstark decided to write a book on the topic instead, which was published two years later as On the Historical Development of the Liturgy. It would be another sixteen years before he produced Comparative Liturgy, for which he is better known. Together the two books lay out Baumstark's liturgical methodology. Comparative Liturgy presents his method; On the Historical Development of the Liturgy offers his model. For nearly a century, On the Historical Development of the Liturgy has been valued by specialists in the field of liturgical studies, both for its description of comparative liturgy and for the portrayal of patterns Baumstark discerns in liturgical development. Also significant are the hypotheses Baumstark proposes and the evidence he brings to bear on problems in liturgical history. In this annotated edition, Fritz West provides the first English translation of this work by Anton Baumstark.
