A Sense of the Sacred<br />
Roman Catholic Worship<br />
in the Middle Ages<br />
James Monti<br />
This incomparable volume presents a comprehensive<br />
exploration and explanation of medieval<br />
liturgical celebrations. The reverent prayers,<br />
hymns and rubrics used in the Middle Ages are<br />
described in detail and interpreted through the<br />
commentary of scholars from the same time period,<br />
the era which is also known as the “Age of Faith”.<br />
Collected here is a wide range of ceremonies,<br />
encompassing the seven sacraments, the major<br />
feasts of the liturgical year (such as Christmas,<br />
Easter, and Corpus Christi), and special liturgical<br />
rites (from the coronation of the pope to the blessing<br />
of expectant mothers). The sacred celebrations<br />
have been drawn from countries across western<br />
and central Europe—from Portugal to Poland—but<br />
particular attention has been given to liturgical<br />
texts of medieval Spain, which until now have<br />
received relatively little attention from scholars.<br />
Historian James Monti has done exhaustive<br />
research on medieval liturgical manuscripts, early<br />
printed missals, and the writings of medieval liturgists<br />
and theologians so that the treasures they<br />
contain can inspire a sense of the sacred in future<br />
generations of Catholics.<br />
“James Monti’s treatise is an astonishing<br />
achievement, a book that can and will shape a<br />
new generation of intellectuals who are serious<br />
about the Catholic liturgy. Despite the title, this<br />
book is not only about medieval liturgy. It’s<br />
about inspiring the creation of, and the provision<br />
of access to, truly sacred spaces in our time, even<br />
in a world that seems so barren of them.”<br />
Jeffrey Tucker, Managing Editor, Sacred Music<br />

St. Louis and the Last Crusade<br />
Mary Ann Hubbard<br />
This is the 30th title in the very popular, awardwinning<br />
series of Vision Books on the lives of<br />
saints and heroes for youth 9 - 15 years old.<br />
Louis IX of France, who took the throne in 1226,<br />
had one aim in life—to be a good king. Guided by<br />
the advice of his mother, he ruled well and was<br />
beloved by his people. At the age of twenty-eight<br />
he took the cross of the crusade and, with his army,<br />
set out for Egypt to defeat the Saracens, the most<br />
energetic enemies of the Holy Land.<br />
Instead, the Saracens charged to victory and<br />
imprisoned Louis, whose saintly conduct while<br />
in prison shamed his captors. Released, and after<br />
another miserable failure in Palestine, he returned<br />
to France broken in health but still fired with the<br />
desire to liberate the Holy Land.<br />
And so again, St. Louis led his men out from<br />
France, this time on the last crusade.<br />
