Questões em torno dos Ordinários do Oficio Divino de Alcobaça

This paper focus on the Ordinals of the Divine Office copied in the scriptorium of Alcobaça’s abbey during the second half of the 15th century and the first half of the 16th. The Ordinals were not meant to be used in the celebration of the liturgical service, but they were used as a guide, to help solving conflicts between offices that converge in the same day. These Ordinals also show us some aspects of the life and habits of Alcobaça monks.
