Caeremoniale in Missa, Privata et Solemni; Callewaert

Caeremoniale in Missa, Privata et Solemni
C. Callewaert, J.C.D.

author bio | Callewaert combo set

This rubrical-reference book is highly esteemed for its systematic and thorough treatment of the general principles of ceremonies. Another unique aspectomitted in most other manualsare the author's ascetical explanations for the purpose of particular ceremonial actions.

Perhaps though, the best recommendation for Caeremoniale comes from a peer of Callewaert, another highly-regard rubrican:

This [book] is perhaps the clearest description of all ordinary ceremonies and is written by an outstanding authority. It is complemented by another book of the author, De Missalis Romani Liturgia. Together these two books give a comprehensive treatment of rubrics and ceremonies. Callewaert is unusual for his depth of treatment. He gives the meaning and reason behind ceremonies whenever useful and always lists carefully his sources. His book is written in Latin and, unfortunately, is not published in this country. We recommend it without reservation... (L. O'Connell from The Book of Ceremonies)

Book review

This book review is specific to De Breviarii Romani Liturgia, but it has some points relevant to all of Callewaert's liturgical works.
