Jasper, R.C.D. & Cuming, G.J. (1990). "Chapter 20: The Gallican Rite." (pp. 147-150). In Prayers of the Eucharist: Early and Reformed. 3rd Edition, Revised and Enlarged. Collegeville, MN: The Liturgical Press. (Personal Library)
While the Gallican rite specifically refers to that used in France prior to about 800, Jasper and Cuming, with others, use the term to include those used in Northern Italy and in Spain, i.e., those Western rites which are non-Roman (Jasper & Cuming 1990, p. 147). Some of the prayers antedate those found in the Roman rite.
Jasper and Cuming observe that the eucharistic prayers in the Gallican rite differ from those both in the East and in the Roman canon (Jasper & Cuming 1990, p. 147). Rather than the invariable prayers in the East or the variable preface in Rome, the "Gallican eucharistic prayer is organized on a basis of four fixed points: Sursum corda, Sanctus, Institution Narrative, and Doxology, between which are inserted three passages varying from Sunday to Sunday" (Jasper & Cuming 1990, p. 147). The material included by Jasper and Cuming is for a general use on a Sunday.
After a brief bibliography (Jasper & Cuming 1990, p. 148), Jasper and Cuming provide an English translation of the eucharistic material for an ordinary Sunday.
