Add MS 41174

MISSAL of Lyons use. The text is in substantial agreement with that of Missale ad vsum Lugdunensis ecclesie, 1510 (the earliest printed missal of this diocese in the British Museum); it also reproduces some of the peculiarities of the rite described by Dom Buenner in Compte-Rendu of the Sixth National Eucharistic Congress, Lyons, July 1927, pp. 76-109, such as (a) the inclusion in the Ordinary (f. 127 b) of the ancient "Oratio ante altare: Deus qui non mortem" (Buenner, p. 93), and (b) the insertion (ff. 12, 138 b, 168 b) in the Agnus Dei of the antiphon "Ad Eucharistiam: Venite populi" (Chevalier, Repert. Hymnol., 21307) on high festivals, here, as in the printed missal (f. ix b), set out at length on Christmas Day (Buenner, p. 106). Contents:-
