Edition of complex and important early liturgical work. The highly
complex combined sacramentary and pontifical presented here,
preserved as Paris, Bibliotheque nationale de France, lat. 12052,
was apparently written to the order of Ratoldus, abbot of Corbie
(d. 986), but in fact has along and complicated history. The
sacramentary descends from a book compiled at Saint-Denis, later
augmented with material relating to Dol (in Brittany) and Arras,
while the pontifical, such as it is, descends in large part froma
book drawn up for Oda, archbishop of Canterbury (941-58). Moreover,
late-tenth and eleventh-century additions show that Corbie was
merely the last link in a fascinating and sometimes puzzling chain.
The work is thus of considerable importance to scholars and this
edition, with introduction, will be warmly welcomed. Dr NICHOLAS
ORCHARD is Deputy Slide Librarian at the Courtauld Institute of
Art.
