Susan Rankin
Fragments of liturgical books made in the late eighth and ninth centuries demonstrate that individual manuscripts may not fit simple narratives or general outlines : booktype which prayers, readings chants for divine office were collected together— long considered to have existed before eleventh century— can be traced several ninth-century examples.

A number French display different ways bringing prayers together one book, while as many fourteen plenary missals Italy are represented fragments, or, case, a fullypreserved missal at Bobbio circa 900.
