Łacińskie rękopisy liturgiczne zachowane jako palimpsesty. Katalog

A palimpsest is a manuscript written on previously used writing material, from which the previous text has been erased, but it is legible thanks to the use of ultraviolet rays, digital cameras and new processing techniques. The liturgical palimpsests have survived most often in the form of larger or smaller fragments of old liturgical books, which have been dissected, dispersed and trimmed to a new format. They are valuable sources of knowledge for research in the field of worship history, especially the history of the ancient Gallic, Celtic and Mozarabic liturgies. The list of liturgical palimpsests provided in this catalogue includes the place of storage, the reference number of the codex, foglia with the original text (scriptura inferior), their current sizes, type of the liturgical book, time and the determined or probable place of its creation, and a bibliography with the publication (if any).
