Gradual - containing the Introits, Graduals (i.e. Psalms + Antiphons) Preceding the Gospels) Offertories, Communions etc set to music. It is to the Missal what the Antiphonary is to the Breviary. The Psalter illuminated was largely used before the 10+15 C. in a great measure superceeded, their contents being included in the Breviaries. The Breviary itself is nothing more than the form of recitation of the Psalter distributed throughout the one nocturoral + 7 daily Services arranged for th e7 days of the week with accompanying lessons, hymns, collects, antiphons, etc. for the most part varying with the season. The Book of Hours contains chiefly the Office of our Lady form the Breviary; with the addition of various prayers + other material.

Since it is an organic combination of the sacramentary + the gradual, it may contain the music of the chanted parts or only their texts. Hence the difference between noted missale + plain ones. In the later Middle Ages the necessary instructions (rubries) were inserted. In such cases the Missal is called rubricated

Strassburg Mentelin - 1473

The Nomina Sacra: ds, di = deus, dei; dns, dni = dominus domini; ihs, ihu = Iesus, Iesu; xpr, spi = Christus Q Christi; sps, spui, spm = spiritus, spiritui, spiritum; ses, sci = sanctus, sancti.

The modern Roman Missal is basically that approved by Pius V in 1570.

as far as number of editions printed in the 15th C, the Bible was easily outshipped by publications chiefly intended for school use - Postrinale, Ars minor.

Before the printing appeared, 2 gread faces already had begun to dominate European intellectual life: religious reformation + humanism. Both of these movements were served well by the new craft, but religion was foremost in the subject matter of incunabula. According to one estimate, nearly 1/2 of the 40,000 titles + editions issued between 1450-1500 were of a religious character with Bibles leading.

Laws of the Stannarius of Cornwall, Made at the Convocation or Parliament of Tinners, at Trurd, Sept. 13, Anno 27^0 Ges. II.

Stannarius, mines from which tin bearing ore is dug. The most noted stannarius are those of Devon + Cornwall in England. Around the mines of these two countries there has arisen a body of law + customary usage peculiar to the localityy + not imitated or duplicated in any other mines in England. By early usage the perogative of the Crown was extended so as to cover these tin mines, athough elsewhere it reaches only to gold + silver. King Johan (?1167-1216), in a charter to the Tuniners, gave them the privilege of mining + working anywhere in the two countries + this was confirmed by subsequent monarchs, until Edward III (1312-1377) created his son Duke fo Cornwall with the stannaries as a perpetuity of the duchy. The Doke who is now always the Prince of Wales is represented by a warden + vice wardens. In former times representative assemblies of the Turiners (called parliaments) were summoned by the Warden for the regulation of the stannaries + redress of greviances: the last of them was held in 1752. The Stannary Courts are courts of record held by the warden + vice warden (of the same limited exclusive character as the courts - patatine) in wich the tuniners have the privilege of suing + being sued. They were remodeled + regulated by a series of acts of Parliament. Appeals from them are now taken to the Court of Appeals + finally to the House of Lords.
