Diverse Cultural and Historical Studies

In 1767 a leaflet containing the texts of a stations-of-the cross liturgy for a pilgrimage from the Parisian church of Saint-Jacques-du-Haut-Pas to the site at Port-Royal-des-Champs, was published in thirteen parts. The votive office was based on the model of the offices of the holy relics in the Parisian breviary of 1736 for the octave of All Saints, but with specific readings for the matins. Of the ten liturgical poems, nine - most of them by Santeuil or Coffin - were borrowed for this model. The sequence of the mass, the curious Ad portum currant regium, was an original creation. On arriving at the Champs setting, one had to recite the second vespers, with a hymn that was an adaptation of the Urbs Jerusalem beata of the old Roman breviary, in which it belonged to the office of the dedication.
