Sacramentary of Echternach (Paris Bibliothèque Nationale Lat. 9433)

<p>This sacramentary compiled at the abbey of Echternach between 895 and 900 is one of the most interesting and unusual examples from the Carolingian period. Unique in combining aspects of Gregorian Gelasian and Old Gelasian sacramentaries it also has important implications for such matters as Carolingian liturgical reforms and it is a vital source for the study of the local history of the abbey of Echternach itself. The Sacramentary with material appended to it (such as a list of the benefactors of the abbey) is presented here in a diplomatic edition with introduction notes and collation tables by the editor.
