Why this is in the register
HOLLIS 'Rupert of Deutz divine offices' returns exactly two records: the 1526 Cologne printed Opera (Latin) and 'Liber de divinis officiis = Der Gottesdienst der Kirche' (Freiburg: Herder, 1999), catalogued 'ger;lat' - a German bilingual translation (https://hollis.harvard.edu/discovery/search?query=any,contains,Rupert%20of%20Deutz%20divine%20offices&tab=Everything&search_scope=MyInst_and_CI&vid=01HVD_INST:HVD2&offset=0 A Latin full text is available as Migne, Patrologia Latina 170, whose OCR contains 70 headings 'DE DIVINIS OFFICIIS' (https://archive.org/details/patrologiaecursu0170mign). No English translation of the work appears in HOLLIS; the only modern rendering is the German bilingual, and no English version surfaced under any title variant.
The last great Latin liturgical exposition before the scholastics, and the one that treats the whole church year, the church building, the vestments and the sacraments as a single theological system; it is a principal source for twelfth-century sacramental theology and for the interpretation of the liturgy as prophecy. Its only modern translation is German, so English-language liturgical theology jumps from Amalarius to the thirteenth century with no Rupert.
