The MOL Liturgica Messali project is part of research on the liturgical sources of Latin Churches in the pre-Tridentine era, drawing on traditions that have shaped the history of liturgy, inspired by models such as the Jesuit Bollandists and the Solesmes monks. The most efficient research and publication centers for liturgical texts in the 19th and 20th centuries were the European Benedictine abbeys. In the second half of the last century, these important cultural hubs began to decline, and only partially were replaced by university research clusters or specialized cultural institutions. Today, it is crucial to work in groups with contributions from specialists in different disciplines, relying on the rigor of a common methodology. The initiative aims to create a multidisciplinary network of experts, overcoming current fragmentation and ensuring continuity and quality in research.
