This item appeared in the exhibition "Sacred Stories: The World's Religious Traditions" in the Rare Book Department, August 2015-January 2016.

This is the label from that exhibition:

A missal is a book containing the texts used to celebrate the Christian Mass. This copy follows the liturgy of the Catholic Dominican Order, and was most likely made for the personal use of a Dominican friar. This manuscript is unusual because it contains both the sung and spoken parts of the mass, which were frequently copied into different volumes.

Notes: Initial G with the Death of the Virgin
Notes: The manuscript can be dated to before 1285.
Notes: This initial begins the Introit for the feast of the Assumption of the Virgin, "Gaudeamus omnes in domino ..." (Rejoice we all in the Lord). The liturgy of this missal follows the Dominican liturgy established by Humbert of Romans, Master General of the Dominican Order (1254-1263). This manuscript is unusual because it contains both the sung and spoken parts of the mass. More often, the sung parts of the Mass were found in separate books called graduals. This feature and the small size of the manuscript suggest that it was for the personal use of a Dominican friar.
