The Bobbio Missal was copied in south-eastern Gaul around the end
of the seventh and beginning of the eighth century. It contains a
unique combination of a lectionary and a sacramentary, to which a
plethora of canonical and non-canonical material was added. The
Missal is therefore highly regarded by liturgists; but,
additionally, medieval historians welcome the information to be
derived from material attached to the codex, which provides
valuable data about the role and education of priests in Francia at
that time, and indeed on their cultural and ideological background.
The breadth of specialist knowledge provided by the team of
scholars writing for this book enables the manuscript to be viewed
as a whole, not as a narrow liturgical study. Collectively, the
essays view the manuscript as physical object: they discuss the
contents, they examine the language, and they look at the cultural
context in which the codex was written.
