Description: The Bobbio Missal is highly regarded by liturgists; but, additionally, medieval historians welcome the information to be derived from the codex providing valuable data about the role and education of priests in Francia at that time, and indeed on their cultural and ideological background. The essays presented here allow the manuscript to be viewed as a whole: its contents, its language, and the cultural context in which it was written.
