The monastery of Saint-Amand made, in the late ninth century, a series of deluxe manuscripts for celebration of Mass (sacramentaries). Such a corpus is unique so early. This book shows how the monks continually worked at improving and reorganizing the tradition, reacting to historic circumstance (e.g. Vikings). It is the first study of this corpus and uses palaeographical, art historical, and liturgical analysis to understand their work.
