    Greetings-

    I seem to be in need of some liturgical texts or descriptions--mass rubrics, funeral liturgies, religious professions (Benedictine or otherwise), etc. Does anyone know of good sources for such things (preferably in translation, though I'll work with OE or Latin)?

    Also a practical question regarding the Liturgy of the Hours in abbeys--I know that the hours during the day were adjusted seasonally (there's more time between Matins and Prime in the summer than in winter, for example). But how was the time for Nocturn determined?

    -Marsaili
