Gothicum Mockup Index

General Notes

1. Additional notes and Comments are given here. Here choices and changes made to the text are documented. A diagram of the two traditions.
2. The goal is to create an accurate mockup of the modern Lorenzana/Cisneros/Ortiz Gothic Office, not an one-to-one recreation of the given sources, nor of the ancient manuscripts.
3. In 1502, the Mozarabic Breviary was published by Cardinal Cisneros, compiled by Alfonso Ortiz. In 1775, Cardinal Lorenzana republished a new edition, adding additional materials.
4. Sources are taken primarily from two places: the Gothic Breviary, and the Missa gothica, which contains the festal commons. The Mozarabic site offers the Breviary in web form, albeit with a few typos. Additional resources may be found on the site.
5. Secondary sources on the notes of the office comes from the Regula of the Breviarium and the introductory notes of the Missa gothica, the Catholic Encyclopedia, the 1593 and the 1603 notes.
6. If one wishes to recite this office, but is not a priest, instead of Dominus sit ... , it can be replaced by Domine exaudi ... and Et clamor ... perveniat semper, to match the style of the Mozarabic Office (cf Ambrosian). In other words, add 'always' to Let my cry ... to thee.
7. When an Antiphon, Sono, Lauda, or Responsory begins, the first line is said by the Celebrant, and then repeated by the Choir. Then the Priest says the line marked P., and the Choir says the versicle, V.

Adventus Domini

Post Adventus

Epiphaniæ

Hebdomadæ Feriæ

Horæ Minoræ

• THE MINOR HOURS ARE ALL SUBJECT TO CHANGE, esp for Lent
• PDF of the minor hours, as presented in the Breviarium.

Choices and Changes:

• Advent
• Responsories. The Breviarium says they are "as mentioned above", but they are not referenced anywhere. As to their function, I suppose they are used ad libitum for (repeated) ferial days.
• Post Advent
• Minor Hours
• Aurora, which is said on Ferias only.
• Prime
• Terce
• Sext
• None
• Compline
• Compline (Other)
• Use either Modern or Other. Full is how Compline is presented in the Breviarium and is somewhat complex, but has a more penitential character. In summary, Modern is as presented by the Missa gothica and the first part of the Breviarium, while Other is a version that is modeled upon the other minor hours.
• Benedictio Mensæ (Blessing of the Table)
