Antient liturgies : being a reprint of the texts, either original or translated, of the most representative liturgies of the church, from various sources

C. E. Hammond's Antient Liturgies provided a valuable resource at an early stage in comparative liturgical studies. Free of extensive critical apparatus, Antient Liturgies presents a collection of historic forms of worship from the Western, Eastern, and Oriental Churches. Rendered principally in Greek and Latin, with an analytical introduction and a helpful glossary of English, Latin, and Greek liturgical terms, Antient Liturgies continues to provide a broad overview of the diversity of early Christian worship made available in an accessible and convenient format for students and scholars.
