The order of the eucharistic mass according to the printed Mozarabic missal of 1500. Part two: the communion rite and the concluding rite

This work is devoted to study of the Order of Mass of Mozarabic rite according to the printed Mozarabic Missal of 1500 (Missale mixtum secundum regulam beati Isidori dictum mozarabes). The article deals with the second part of the Eucharistic Mass which includes the Communion rite and the Concluding rite. The description of the Order is based on the Ordinary of the Mass found in the printed Missal, as well as on the analysis of all formulars of the Proper which contain the varying elements of the Mass. The Order of the printed Missal is compared with the Mozarabic manuscripts of the 9-13th centuries and with Visigothic handwritten liturgical sheets of the late 7th-early 8th centuries. In addition it is compared with the testimonies of St. Isidore of Seville, which contained in his treatise “De ecclesiasticis officiis”. As a result of the comparison, the correspondences and differences between the printed books and manuscripts are clarified, and also reveals the sources which influenced the formation of the Mass in the Mozarabic Missal. The publication is a continuation of the articles which was published before and completes the description of the Order of the Mass according to the Mozarabic Missal of 1500
