EFORE THE CAMPION MISSAL could be published, it was necessary to collect, scan, sort, clean, and carefully digitize more than 300 religious line art drawings. Credit for this goes to Kristen Ostrowski, who combed through hundreds of 19th century Missals, Antiphonals, Breviaries, and Graduals from a Benedictine Abbey, meticulously extracting pictures that were still intact.
The St. Edmund Campion Missal & Hymnal for the Traditional Latin Mass (ccwatershed.org/Campion) contains approximately ninety (90) of these exquisite “woodcuts.” In my blog entries over the next year or so, I will be releasing hundreds of these pictures for general use by Catholics everywhere.
The following piece of line art was considered for All Saints in the Campion Missal:
* * 7522 • All Saints Alternative • Religious Line Art [download this pdf]
This image was not used in the Campion Missal because it was not possible to use all 300+ images. However, I still think it’s quite lovely.
You will notice that the quotes are given in both Latin & English — a special feature of the Campion Missal we hope will be appreciated.
