About this book
The seven-day week, the Lord's Day, the feasts of the martyrs and the origins of Christmas and Epiphany are among the subjects in this handbook on how the Christian calendar took shape. John Dowden, the late Bishop of Edinburgh, examines early kalendars such as the Bucherian and that of Polemius Silvius, the Leonine and Gregorian sacramentaries, and the days of All Saints and All Souls.
It belongs to the Cambridge Handbooks of Liturgical Study and appeared in 1910. The editors explain that Dowden's manuscript went to press only weeks before his death, so they checked references and added short bracketed notes.
