Fragment of an English Grail, 12th century
Scope and Contents
One leaf of an English 12th century Grail. Contains the end of the Communion of Friday after Ash Wednesday, and then the service until the beginning of the Tract on the first Sunday in Lent. A modern hand has taken extensive notes in the margins and bottom of f. 1r.
The contents are common to most Latin rites except the Psalm Domine, refugium factus es, which is found in the Missals of Durham and St. Albans, and is substituted for the usual Unam petii in the Whitby Missal (uses collated by Dr. J. Wickham Legg in Missale Westmonasteriense (H.B.S.), vol. 3, p. 1459).
