1910 New Catholic Dictionary
• Rite, Gothic
• Gothic Rite

The rite used in Spain, and in what later became Portugal, from about the 6th to the latter part of the 11th century. It is known also as Gothic, due to its development during the time of the Visigothic Kingdom of Spain; Toletan, from Toledo which was its center; Isidorian, because it probably received a revision by Saint Isidore of Seville. It is of common origin and of nearly identical construction with the Gallican Rite, and is still used in Mass and Office by a college of chaplains at Toledo, in a chapel of the cathedral.
