North Italian Services of the Eleventh Century - (Milan, Bibl. Ambros T 27 Sup)

The MS collection, which it must be admitted is poorly titled in English for the Bradshaw edition, dates from 11th-12th century and is evidently from an episcopal city of some size in Northern Italy [Brescia?], but the exact location is elusive. Legible are ff. 5-62, which contain ordines for the baptism of children in danger of death, for the scrutinies [very extensive rites], and the blessing of the fonts, ad paenitentiam dando, of the sick, the blessing of sackcloth and ashes, and the blessing or exorcism of water and salt. The edition has a full introduction and indexes.
