Abstract

This Missal was created for Benedictine use in a church dedicated to Ambrose in the province of Ravenna, perhaps S. Ambrosii de Rancla (Ranchio) near Sarsina. The manuscript, which dates to the eleventh century, is striking for its two crucifixion images, one on fol. 7r, and another, drawn only in pen, on fol. 9r. Early musical notation in the form of neumes also appear throughout.
