REVIEWS Icon
"Matthew Cheung Salisbury has done a signal service to both instructors of European medieval history and scholars unfamiliar with its liturgy. He has produced a compact (120 pages) guide to the Western Latin liturgy (in the largest sense) that, if read through, provides a solide understanding of this large topic." --John B. Wickstrom, The Medieval Review 18.11.11
Matthew Cheung Salisbury is Lecturer in Music at University and Worcester Colleges, Oxford. Among his publications on the manuscript and printed sources of the medieval liturgy is The Secular Liturgical Office in Late Medieval England (Brepols, 2015).
