Sherbrooke Missal (NLW MS. 15536E)

[Dominique Gatté]

This beautiful Missal made from parchment dates back to c. 1310 - c. 1320 and originates from East Anglia. It is considered a very important manuscript as it is one of the earliest examples of a Missal of an English source. This is also the first medieval musical manuscript to be placed on The National Library’s Digital Mirror.

Indeed it is. However, it is not a Welsh document or of Welsh origin. It is surprising it is not housed in an English library. I am sure that if an historic Welsh manuscript were housed in England the Welsh authorities would be u;p in arms! :-)

Because Aberystwyth is in Wales...

Why is it in Wales?
