This is Father Jungmann's last book on the Mass, taking into account the changes of the Second Vatican Council and more recent articles on liturgy. This book considers the Mass both from a historical and a theological perspective, treating many questions of contemporary interest, for example, the role of acclamations in the liturgy and the question of frequency of the Mass. Certainly for the twentieth century, perhaps for all time, the author is the most important scholar of the history of the liturgy.
