Mr. Michael Davies discusses the Alexandrian and Gallican rites. Two distinct centers of liturgical importance are examined in this lecture by Mr. Michael Davies: those of Alexandria in Egypt, with its "multicultural" Greek and Coptic Church, and of Merovingian/Carolingian Gaul, the "cauldron" of western medieval culture. Taken from: The Church in the Early Middle Ages - 1994 Von Hildebrand Institute
