Early 11c service book containing many masses commemorating English
and Continental saints. The `Missal of Robert of Jumieges' is one
of the most important, and also most beautifully written and
decorated, service books which have survived from the late
Anglo-Saxon period. Probably written at Canterbury in the early
years of the eleventh century, it eventually came into the
possession of Robert, bishop of London (1044-51), who gave it to
the abbey of Jumieges in France, where it remained until 1791. From
a liturgical point of view, the manuscriptis notable for the large
number of masses commemorating not only native English, but also
continental, and particularly Flemish, saints culted in late
Anglo-Saxon England; the book is thus an important witness to the
cultural links between England and the Continent at that time. The
text, first published in 1896, has a still-valuable introduction by
its editor and is accompanied by fifteen black and white plates,
which give some impression of the original, lavish decoration.
There are also full indexes of liturgical forms and subjects.
