Missal
(Missale)
FROM THE COLLECTION OF OTTO F. EGE.
The Missal, written for the convenience of the priests, combined the separate books formerly used in different parts of the service namely, the Oratorium, Lectionarium, Evangeliarium, Canon, and others
Gutenberg, who printed his famous First Bible about the time this manuscript was written, based his type designs on a contemporary book hand similar to this example
The craftsmen who created this manuscript had the difficult problem of evolving a harmonious page with two sizes of writing, inserted rubrics, and large and small colored initials
The smaller writing is used for the Orationes, the Psalms, the Secreta, and other parts of the service
the larger script for the Sequentia.
Fifty original leaves from medieval manuscripts, Western Europe, XII-XVI century
