This missal, copied in the early 12th century at the
Mont-Saint-Michel Priory in the Tarentaise Valley, follows a model
from Mont-Saint-Michel in Normandy. The calendar contains almost
all of the saints venerated in Normandy, and the Ordinary of the
Mass follows the tradition of Mont-Saint-Michel. The missal seems
to have been in use at least until 1233, when the last necrological
note was added to the calendar. It was purchased by Abbot Claude
Vittoz, priest of La Giettaz (Savoy), who left it to the
Bibliothèque de Genève in 1750.
