The Concise Oxford Dictionary of the Christian Church | 2000 | 377 words | Copyright

Leonine Sacramentary. The earliest surviving book of Mass prayers according to the Roman rite. It exists in a single 7th-cent. MS preserved at Verona. Its attribution to Pope Leo I is arbitrary. It is not a sacramentary in the proper sense, but a private collection of libelli. It possesses no Ordinary or Canon of the Mass and contains only the variable parts of the liturgy.
