The Bobbio Missal, written around the end of the seventh and beginning of the eighth century, is one of the most intriguing liturgical manuscripts to have been produced in Merovingian Francia. This book draws together a wide range of specialist knowledge to provide a major re-evaluation of this complex manuscript.
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.

Dr Yitzhak Hen is in the Department of History, Ben-Gurion University of the Negev, Israel. Dr Rob Meens is in the Department of History, University of Utrecht, The Netherlands.
