Críticas:
The introduction is full of rich and thought-provoking details, which cast new light not just on Ratoldus but on the wider liturgical history of both northern France and England in the tenth-century. The edition which follows is exemplary. JOURNAL OF ECCLESIASTICAL HISTORY
Reseña del editor:
The highly complex combined sacramentary and pontifical presented here, preserved as Paris, Bibliothèque nationale de France, lat. 12052, was apparently written to the order of Ratoldus, abbot of Corbie [d. 986], but in fact has a long and complicated history. The sacramentary descends from a book compiled at Saint-Denis, later augmented with material relating to Dol [in Brittany] and Arras, while the pontifical, such as it is, descends in large part from a book drawn up for Oda, archbishop of Canterbury [941-58]. Moreover, late-tenth and eleventh-century additions show that Corbie was merely the last link in a fascinating and sometimes puzzling chain. The work is thus of considerable importance to scholars and this edition, with introduction, will be warmly welcomed.
