Liturgical uses of the psalms project: update

Just to let you know, that I now have at least one post for each psalm on the blog), accessible through the Psalms by the number page.

I've generally tried to provide at least an overview of the psalm, though some are more placeholders I hope to come back to eventually.

Liturgical uses table: abbreviations key

There is now, however, a table for each psalm for information containing at least some information its New Testament Scriptural uses, and its uses in the liturgy.

The key focus for the liturgical uses is in the traditional version of the Benedictine Office and the Sunday cycle of the EF Mass, but I've included other uses where possible as well.

The table below sets out the basic format of the entries and provides a key to the abbreviations:

NT references
RB cursus	Hour/day used at
Monastic feasts etc	Psalms used for feasts and commons and their antiphons. ID No = Hesbert, Corpus antiphonalium Officii
Roman pre 1911	Office: Hour/day used at
Responsories	Responsories listed by Hesbert no only are not used in the 1962 Benedictine Office, but have been included where possible for completeness.
Ambrosian	Office: Hour/day used at
Brigittine	Office: Hour/day used at
Maurist	Office: Hour/day used at
Thesauris schemas	Benedictine 1975 schemas A-D
Roman post 1911	1911-62:  Office: Hour/day used at 1970: (liturgy of the hours)
Mass propers (EF)	IN = Introit GR= Gradual AL=Alleluia OF=Offertory CO=Communio PP=Post Pentecost (Sunday or week)

In the case of Mass propers, antiphons and responsories, the relevant verse numbers are referenced.

Current project status

Currently the tables include data on the place of the psalm in the psalm cursi for the monastic and pre-1911, and 1911 Roman Offices; use of the whole psalm for monastic feasts; as well as for the Sunday EF cycle.

I'm currently in the process of adding in references to the responsories, antiphons, Mass Commons and feasts.

Eventually I hope to go back and ensure the other main older forms of the Western (and ideally Eastern) Office are also included.

Please do feel free to provide corrections or provide information for inclusion in the tables via the comments box for the relevant psalms.

If you have any suggestions on format and content, please do contact me.

Other projects

I will provide updates on assorted other projects on this blog soon - in particular, I am planning to start the second half of my series on the design of the Benedictine office in the near future.
