Gerbert Aurillacilainen : matemaatikko ja paavi tuhannen vuoden takaa

Arkkipiispa Gerbert Aurillacilainen (n. 945-1003), paavina Sylvester II (999-1003)

Missale (C.ö.IV.9, Oripään missale II)

A (mainly votive) missal consisting of seven distinct parts. Put together in several stages, somewhat haphazardly. Parts II and III are probably the oldest parts. The final stage in the composition of the book is probably the addition of part VII. Part II belongs in the same liturgical tradition as C.ö.IV.7 (Oripään Missale I), probably that of Diocese of Linköping. Part III, a votive missal, is an informal copy of a book that would most probably have been used close to a Swedish cathedral (Linköping?). How the present book found its way to Oripää chapel is not known.

Graduale (MS A.ö.II.41, "Graduale Uskelense")
