Maculature liturgiche nel Fondo Notarile Antico dell'Archivio Storico Civico di Vercelli

Abstract

Since the 16th Century the historical archive of the Comune of Vercelli has kept the notarial documents of the city. Registers, notularii, and other types of notarial books are often bound with recycled parchment, taken from discarded medieval manuscripts. All the liturgical texts reused in these bindings are here listed and described: there are fragments from 84 different codices, spanning from the 11 th to the 15th Century and including several kinds of liturgical books, such as lectionaries, Missals, Antiphonaries, Breviaries, Homiliaries, Bibles, etc.
