H.,Illuminated Manuscripts, 1892) the missal was used for celebration of the mass; while the breviary contained the services for the hours, including theantiphony(anthems to the psalms)—thelegenda(long lessons used at matins),—the psalter (psalms arranged for use at hours),—and the collects (short lessons used at all the hours except matins). In the list above, these are enumerated as separate books. He further says that theordinalecontained general rules for the right understanding and use of the service books. It is noteworthy that this is in French in the list of books at Easebourne.
