- Description
- A leaf from a late fourteenth- or early fifteenth-century English missal. The black text identifies the words to be spoken by the priest and other celebrants. The red text specifies which actions they should take during the ceremony. The passage on the recto would have guided the Deposito Crucis after the mass on Good Friday. In this ceremony, the crucifix and host were buried in a tomb (sepulchrum) until they would be revealed again on Easter morning. For a discussion of versions of the Deposito Crucis, see Young, pp. 340-49. The version of this ceremony transcribed by Young from MS. Rawlinson Liturgical d. iv (14th c.) from the Church of St. John the Evangelist, Dublin, closely matches the version preserved on this leaf (344-5).
