Nota Tomus Gregoriana

Nota Tomus Gregoriana

The aim of our liturgical imprint, Nota Tomus Gregoriana (“Gregorian Note Books”), is to make available to both clerical and lay audiences, for practical, historical, and academic purposes, liturgical and related books antedating the so-called reforms of the second half of the 20th century. These works are offered in the spirit both of liturgist Klaus Gamber’s remark that “[i]t most certainly is not the function of the Holy See to introduce Church reforms,” but rather to “watch over [her] traditions” (The Reform of the Roman Liturgy, trans. Klaus D. Grimm [San Juan Capistrano, Calif.: Una Voce Press, 1993], 38), and, more emphatically, of St. Gregory the Great’s rebuke to Emperor Maurice, that one must not “raise his neck against the statutes of the Fathers” (Registr. v. 37, cited in St. Pius x’s Iucunda Sane of 1904).

The spirit of our liturgical line is captured by the remark Dom Gueranger makes in the introduction to his Liturguical Year: “Long before the rationalism of the sixteenth century . . . , people had ceased to unite themselves exteriorly with the prayer of the Church, except on Sundays and festivals. During the rest of the year, . . . the people took no share in it. Each new
generation increased in indifference . . . . Social prayer was made to give way to individual devotion . . . . That was the first sad revolution in the Christian world.”
