Missale plenarium ad usum lausannensis et sedunensis diocesis
Description
The original parts of the calendar indicate that this missal was
meant for use in the Diocese of Lausanne, whereas the later entries
attest to its presence and use in the celebration of the Mass in
the Diocese of Sion at the latest since 1300. Three special
sequences suggest that the missal originated in the Abbey of St.
Maurice (188v: sequence of Theodulf Collaudetur rex virtutum; 190r:
sequence of Augustine Augustino laude demus and 189r: sequence of
Maurice Pangat Syon dulce melos). The Canon of the Mass is
decorated with an illuminated initial, with the Vere dignum, and
with a frame showing the crucifixion, the Virgin and St. John
(97v). The most important holidays are introduced with decorated
initials on a gold background (4v, 13rb, 17ra, 18ra etc.). In 1981,
the Valais State Archives purchased this codex on the antiquarian
book market.
