For those curious to explore this huge and virtually unknown region of medieval studies, the reader will find a compass (in the symbolic language used to investigate the liturgy), a wealth of maps (in the forms of detailed explanations) of the main routes, and guidance into the multifarious and branching byways of the topic (through numerous examples, handlists, and reference guides). [...] Mostly, for this publication, My family, as usual, suffered the mess, my the work was relatively uninteresting, the enter- irritation with intractable computer problems, ing of textual data, and the checking of formats, and all the rest of the physical and mental clutter for example. [...] I use the term to refer to the (essentially biblical) texts and the chants that appear consistently in every major liturgical book of the later middle ages, from the thirteenth to the sixteenth centuries, and that have formed the basis for Roman Catholic church services into our own time. [...] The chief components of the liturgy are the Mass and the Divine Office. [...] Another obstacle to the study of the texts of the liturgy was, and still is, the presence of the chant that accompanies almost every genre.
