Dating from the seventh century, the Leonine Sacramentary is the earliest surviving manuscript of prayers of the Christian Latin Mass, the sacrament in which consecrated bread and wine are consumed. Despite the manuscript's nickname, Pope Leo I probably did not compose its prayers, nor is it a sacramentary (i.e. a book comprising all the prayers said by the celebrating priest at Mass). It is rather a heterogeneous collection of libelli ("booklets") of prayers reflecting the liturgy of Rome, although the manuscript was probably created outside the city.

We have 1 facsimile edition of the manuscript "Leonine Sacramentary": Das Sacramentarium Leonianum facsimile edition, published by Akademische Druck- u. Verlagsanstalt (ADEVA), 1960

International social justice movements and the debates that ensued prompted us to start considering the contents of our website from a critical point of view. This has led us to acknowledge that most of the texts in our database are Western-centered. We have asked the authors of our content to be aware of the underlying racial and cultural bias in many scholarly sources, and to try to keep in mind multiple points of view while describing the manuscripts. We also recognize that this is yet a small, first step towards fighting inequality.

If you notice any trace of racist or unjust narratives in our communications, please help us be part of the change by letting us know.
