This collection presents excerpts in English that were embedded within the predominantly Latin liturgical texts used in medieval English church services. Its focus is on the surviving English portions that appeared in religious ceremonies such as baptism, marriage, and the visitation of the sick, as preserved in various manuscripts. The work is aimed at scholars and readers interested in the evolution of English, medieval religious practice, and manuscript studies. The opening of this publication explains its purpose and methods, clarifying transcription conventions for specialized medieval characters and how formatting from the original manuscripts has been adapted for modern readers. It introduces the types of English fragments presented, such as instructions and ritual phrases from baptism and marriage services, prayers, formulaic responses for the sick, and general confessional texts, all drawn from fifteenth-century manuscripts. The introductory section also situates the pamphlet within the broader efforts of the Early English Text Society, describing the Society’s goals and other ongoing textual projects, which contextualizes the fragments as part of a larger mission to make medieval English sources accessible for study.
