This missal is the oldest surviving document in the Canton of
Appenzell Innerrhoden; it is owned by the parish St. Mauritius in
Appenzell. It was probably created for a church in the Diocese of
Constance, its exact origins, however, are unknown. The missal is
also important to the history of the region of Appenzell because it
contains the only surviving copy of the deed of foundation of the
parish of Appenzell from the year 1071. The volume contains
separate parts (calendar, gradual, sequentiary, sacramentary,
lectionary). The calendar is particularly rich in saints’ days,
although none is rubricated as a patron saint’s day.
