abstract:
The Corpus missal is important for an understanding of the Irish church on the eve of the twelfth-century reform. This paper seeks to support by other evidence the eleventh-century dating of Gwynn and others. Certain textual evidence indicates an early but ill-defined date. By reference to the chronological evolution of a particular liturgical practice a terminus post quem is determined. Then, by showing that this practice is out of line with an avowed aim of the twelfth-century reform and specifically contradicts what the reforming bishop Gille of Limerick prescribes, a terminus ante quem, is established.

A missal commonly thought to have been produced in Ireland in the 11th or 12th century. Scholars have attempted to arrive at a more precise date and provenance, with varying conclusions. Much of the discussion has tended to focus on its artistic affinities with other illuminated manuscripts and the relationship of its textual contents to the reform movement of the 12th century, or lack of evidence for this, pointing to an earlier date of the manuscript if not of its texts.
