ADAMS, R.H., (ed.),
The College Graces of Oxford and Cambridge.
Perpetua Press, Oxford, 1994. 5th impr. 95p. Cloth wrps. Almost without exception the colleges of Oxford and Cambridge, even those of recent foundation, still use Latin graces before and after meals. Many of them have been inherited from medieval times and are of great interest and beauty. All these graces are recorded in this book in Latin with English translations. The compiler's introduction and notes provide an invaluable history of the subject, including the customs associated with saying grace in the halls of the oldest universities in Brittain. From the library of the late Prof. W. Geoffrey Arnott.
