Oripään Missale II Cataloguer Jesse Keskiaho Finnish Literature Society (SKS) Codices Fennici Creative Commons BY 4.0 Helsinki National Library C.ö.IV.9 Oripään Missale II Saec. XV, Sweden (prov. Oripää / Pöytyä) A (mainly votive) missal consisting of distinct parts

I: fols. 1r-v, 14r–15r.

Fol. 1r–v, office for St Erasmus.

[1r] [S]ancti erasme martiri ... per christum dominum amen.

Fols. 14r–15r, two cantiones on the Eucharist (cf. Theodericus Petri Nylandensis, <hi rend="italic">Piae cantiones</hi>, Greifswald 1582, nos. 38 and 39, fols. 58r–59v).

[14r] Diuinum misterium modo ... fit in detrimentum. [14v] Ihesus christus nostra salus ... [15r] in panis hostia.

Fol. 15v is blank.

II: fols. 2r–13v, prayers before mass, and prefaces.

[2r] Ad humeralem oratio. Humeros meos et ... [3v] ... Sequitur secreta. In nativitate domini prefatio. Eterne deus reuerendissima ... [8v] ... Inmediate ae igitur osculetur ... Ae igitur clementissime ... [10v] Cotidiana. Per omnia secula seculorum ... [13v] ... orations nostras, conscientias nostras.

This part follows the same liturgical tradition as Helsinki, National Library, C.ö.IV.7, where the corresponding part is found on fols. 17–32. The main difference is that here St Henry is invoked after (the Virgin, SS Peter and Paul and) SS Lawrence and Erik (the confiteor on fol. 2v), whereas in C.ö.IV.7 Henry is missing. This suggests that the text originated in Linköping (Lauri Hirvonen, personal communication, 17 April 2014; cf. Helander 2001, 383 n. 36).

III: fols. 16r–54v, 56r–59v.

Fols. 16r–39v, 41r–54v, votive masses and saints’ offices.

Fol. 40r–v, originally blank, now with added offices for SS Lawrence, Augustine, and Catherine (preceded by the end of an office added in another hand; both roughly saec. XV).

[40r] supplices te rogamus ... per dominum nostrum. De sancto laurentio. Da nobis q:us omnipotens ... argumentum. per dominum nostrum. De sancto augustino. Maiestatem tuam domine ... perficias. Per dominum nostrum. De sancta katarina. Deus qui dedisti legem moysi ... a nobis iniquitates expellat.

Fol. 56r–v, originally blank, now with commune, secreta and complenda prayers for SS Barbara and Sebastian (saec. XVI 1/3?).

[56r] Collecta de sancta Barbara. [D]eus qui beate barbare ... Secreta ... Complenda ... [56v] ... Collecta de sancto sebastiano. [D]eus qui meritis beati sebast et gloriosi martyris sebastiani ... Secreta ... Complenda ... defendi per eius domini (?)

Fols. 57r–58r, originally blank, now with an intercessory prayer (saec. XV).

[57r] Gracias tibi ago sancte pater per operis eterne deus ... [58r] ... meis commendauerunt uel per quibus.

Fol. 58v, originally blank, now with a Marian prayer in Old Low German(?), pen trials in the same hand, and, in another hand, commune, secreta and complenda prayers for St Clara (saec XV–XVI?).

[58v] Maria voldt uth slecht wth walt ... Aui multum caseum comedit . p.i.n.t. sibi stabit. Durum mardantem[?] mulier. Maria wyld thin haffwer oc scyld ... The haffde. (In another hand:) Collecta de sancta clara. Deus qui omnes sanctos ... secreta ... complenda ... per dominum nostrum.

Fol. 59r, commune, secreta and complenda prayers for St Erasmus (saec. XV–XVI?).

[59r] deus in cuius. De sancto erasmo collecta. Deus in cuius uirtute ... secreta ... complenda ... deuotione. Per dominum [ ... ]

Fol. 59v, a prayer (saec. XV–XVI?).

[59v] Domine ihesu christe rogo te ... a pater noster amen.

This part contains offices for the Nordic saints Erik, Olav, and Birgitta, suggesting that it was copied somewhere in the ecclesiastical province of Uppsala in the fifteenth century (Linköping?). The selection of votive masses (especially the mass for the seniors of a cathedral) suggests that the booklet would have found use in a cathedral. The rather informal (if moderately skilled and somewhat ambitious) execution suggests that the booklet has been created for personal use, perhaps by a canon.

IV: fol. 55r–v, office for St Helen (saec. XV).

[55r] De sancta Helena. Gaudeamus. Collecta. Largire nobis quesumus ... [55v] ... ab hostium meritibus liberamur.

V: fols 60r–66v.

Fols. 60r–65r, commune sanctorum.

Fol. 65v, commune, secreta and complenda prayers for St Nicholas.

[65v] De sancto nicolai. Deus qui beatum nicolaum pontificem ... Per dominum nostrum ihesum christum filium tuum qui tecum ...

Fol. 66 originally blank, now with offices for the ten thousand soldiers and for the eleven thousand virgins (the latter imperfect, extending to fol. 66v of pt. V, copied probably by the scribe of pt. VI).

[66r] Decem milia militum oratio. Deus qui ad imitandum ... epistola ... Secreta ... Commune [66v] ... Vndecim milium uirginum oratio. Deus qui digne tibi ... et collaudate canticum et [66v] ben|[edicite] ... Officium|’

VI: fols. 66v–70v, 77–80, saints’ offices and ordo missae.

Fols. 67r–70v, 77r–79r, prefatory prayers before the mass (cf. fol. 2r and following), the canon of the mass (now imperf.), and prayers after the mass.

[67r] Omnipotens sempiterne deus, ex ego auxedo [sic, pro ecce accedo] ad sacramentum corporis et sangui unigeniti filii tui ... [67v] Exue me domine ueterem hominem cum cunctibus suis ...

Deponans hostiam--- In spiritu--- domine et--- deus--- [69v] Sequitur prefationes, prime de natiuitate domini ... [70r] In die epyphania ... (at the end of fol. 70r and on fol. 70v the beginning of the Gospel of John, crossed out, and notation without words on fol. 70v) [77r] Pater noster qui ... Hic eleuat patenam in altum ... [78v] ... lauanda calicem modum de ... lauando manus ... [79r] ... Statim dicatur continuo et post orationem. Placeat tibi sancta trinitas ... sit te miserante propitiabile, Et in uitam in uitam eternam, Amen (a later change). Dominus uobiscum et Initium sancti euangelium secundum iohannem. In principio erat uerbum ... plenum gratiae et ueritatis. Deo gratias. Per hac ewangelium dicta deleantur nostra debita(?) Amen.

Fols. 79v–80v, originally blank, now with a prayer for All Saints(?), pen trials, and a dismissal, the last item notated (three different hands, saec. XV–XVI?).

[79v] De omnibus sanctis. Succurrite michi queso omnes sancti dei ... deum saluatorem meum in secula seculorum. Amen. (in a different hand:) Amen dicamus ut cum Christo manemus. (in another hand, notated:) In die pasce et in die pentecoste. Ite missa est ... Ite missa est.

VII: fols. 71r–76v, prefaces, and the canon of the mass.

[71r] Celebratur hec prefactio habeatur . Oo eterne deus ... [75r] ... Hic inclinet se ante altare humile et deuote sub silencio; quasi cum deo se loquatur dicat. Te igitur clementissime pater ... [76v] Per omnia secula seculorum ... Nota secunda. Per Omnia secula ... formati audemus dicere.

A: a loose leaf between fols. 20 and 21 (saec. XV–XVI1?).

Contra paganos Collecta. Omnipotens sempiterne deus ... Secreta ... (verso, in a perhaps slightly older hand) Collecta de sancto Erasmo. Deus qui beatum Erasmum ... Secreta ... Complenda ...

Paper 80 folios. Part I: 13,5 × 16 (11,5–12 × 14,5); pts. II and III: 14,5 × 21 (10,5–11 × 15–15,5); pt. IV: 15,5 × 18,5 (10 × 15); pt. IV: 14,5 × 20,5 (9,5 × 14–14,5); pt. VI: 16 × 22 (12,5 × 16); pt. VII: 15 × 20,5–21 (10 × 16,5). Modern foliation in pencil in the upper right-hand corners of the recto-sides. (VI+II–1)15; (VI–1)26 + (VI–1)37 + (II–1)40 + (IX+1)59; III66; (V–2+III)80 Single leaves missing after fol. 1, before fol. 16, after fol. 37, and after fol. 39. There is a loose leaf (A) between fols. 20 and 21. Fol. 55 is later addition in the fifth quire, as are fols. 1 and 14–15 to the first and fols. 71–76 to the last. The first folio of the last quire is torn off; the stub has been numbered ‘66b’. Another folio has been intentionally cut out after 79. There is some staining, especially to the outer edges of folia, which are also somewhat frayed. Text in one column, ruled in ink, on 15–20 text lines with occasional notation (I); 13–33 lines with occasional notation (II); 19–20 lines (III); 24–26 lines (V); 18–35 lines with occasional notation (VI); in two columns, ruled with ink, on 22 lines (IV); on 9 lines of notation (VII).

Gothic Hybrida in possibly two different hands (A: fols. 2–13; B: 16–39, 41–54) and varieties of Gothic Cursive by perhaps three main hands (C: fols. 60–65; D: 66–70, 77–79; e: 71–76) and several additional hands (of these, the one who has added the present folia 1 and 14–15 is probably the same as scribe D).

 Square notation on three (black) lines on fols. 3v–8v, 10v–11v, on four lines on fols. 70v–77r and 80v; and on five lines on fols. 14r–15r.

On fols. 2r–13v red painted lombards of two sizes for the beginnings of paragraphs; there is rubrication and sentence-initials have also been stroked with red. On 14r–15r crude pen-drawn monochrome lombards. On 16r–39v pen-drawn lombards of three sizes, coloured red and green; paragraphs separated by red and green wavy lines and leaf-motifs, which are occasionally connected to the higher-grade lombards (the use of green ceases from fol. 35v onwards). Rubrics have been surrounded by coloured boxes, if somewhat haphazardly. This same type of decoration may have been planned for fols. 41r–54v but was not executed. On fols. 60r–65v there are pen-drawn initials for the beginnings of prayers, but the highest grade initials or any distinction for the rubrics have not been executed. On fols. 67r–70v and 77r–79r there are crudely drawn red lombards marking the beginnings of paragraphs, pen-drawn Gothic initials touched with red for the songs, and rubrication. Fols. 71r–76v follow this style, if with greater skill.

Limp binding using a plain parchment sheet, which has been folded inwards at the upper and lower edges, and at the edge of the back cover. Sewn with parchment, using, for reinforcement, two large strips (ca. 7 × 13 and 7 × 18 cm) from a missal of saec. XIV–XV. The binding is somewhat loose, especially for fols. 38–40, which are almost detached.

The book, a collection of texts relating to the mass, appears to have been put together in several stages, somewhat haphazardly, and the leaves are mismatched, a few even colored red (pt. I). Parts II and III are probably the oldest parts, while the present composition (and probably the binding) may be coeval to the work of scribe D, who copied parts I and VI (and copied saints’ offices on the blank final leaves of part V and continued that text on the first folio, 66b, of part VI). The final stage in the composition of the book is probably the addition of part VII, with a collection of prefaces and the canon of the mass. Because this part complements the contents of part VI, its addition may be contemporaneous with the work of scribe d.

Part II belongs in the same liturgical tradition as Helsinki, National Library, C.ö.IV.7, probably that of Diocese of Linköping.

Part III, a votive missal, is an informal copy of a book that would most probably have been used close to a Swedish cathedral (Linköping?).

Inside the front cover: ‘Orihpää kyrka tillhörig’. How the present book found its way to Oripää chapel is not known.

Blue stamp of the Helsinki University Library on the inside front cover. Inside the back cover, in ink, ‘C.IV.12’, which has been corrected, in pencil, to ‘C.ö.IV.9’.
